C Correct answer
Explanation

A bishop moves only on diagonals of the same color. From any position, it can theoretically attack at most 4 pieces (one in each diagonal direction) if properly positioned. The queen, king (from center), and knight can all potentially attack or capture more pieces simultaneously.
