implemented in a subset of C++ programming language.
Doesn't C itself technically fit that criteria?
No, not even close. For this to be true, a necessary (but not sufficient) requirement is for every syntactically valid C program to also be a syntactically valid C++ program. This is obviously not the case: for example, C allows the use of "new" as an identifier, while C++ does not. I'd wager that most C programs would not even build with a C++ compiler unless the writers specifically put in the effort to make it work.
There are many other differences, and over the past 20+ years C and C++ have been diverging as new features are added to each language.
