If you just take C as average, then C is ok.
If you consider that average is "ok", then it's at least "not bad".
If you want to go through life striving to be "average", then C might be ok for you.
If you are smart enough to get A's and B's, but fail to apply yourself and get a C, that is bad.
If you consider that you will fall behind all the A and B people if you ever want to get into post-graduate studies, then C IS "bad".
Bottom line: I think C is bad because "average" benefits no one. If everyone always settled for average, we'd still be in the bronze age.
