C is a successor of the BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) which was popularly called ‘B’ language and introduced around the early 1970s.
No. First there was BCPL, followed by B, followed (briefly) by NB ("new B"), followed by C. The details are here. So BCPL and B are not the same language.
The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).
No. See here for details. TL;DR: The first official standard was C89 (in 1989, obviously).
Programs written in C are efficient and execute much faster.
Faster than what?
C has high-level constructs and it is more user-friendly as its syntax approaches to English-like language.
More user-friendly than what? Also, while C has several strengths, being English-like isn't one of them. That attribute describes COBOL.
C has only 32 keywords and several standard built-in functions ...
No. As of C23, C has 47 keywords. And it has far more than "several" standard functions; see here just for the headers (in which there are many functions declared each).
Programs written in C are efficient due to the availability of several data types and operators.
That's not what makes C programs efficient. Most programming languages have the same fundamental types and operators. What makes C programs efficient is virtually zero run-time overhead (no complex memory or resource management, no dynamic dispatch, no garbage collection).
The naming of variables and constants is done by following some rules which are all same in every programming language.
No. While many programming languages have the same requirements for what constitutes a valid identifier, it's not the same in every programming language. One example is XQuery.
C can be used for website programming using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) as a "gateway" for information between the Web application, the server, and the browser.
While that's technically true, any programming language can be used for CGI. There's really nothing advantageous about using C for it.
