C Correct answer
Explanation

C++ was originally named 'C with Classes' by its creator Bjarne Stroustrup when he first developed the language at Bell Labs starting in 1979. The name was changed to C++ in 1983, with the '++' being from the C increment operator. 'C' and 'C+' were different languages/proposals, not earlier names of C++.
