a class c amplifier conducts only for a small fraction of the period ( cycle ) of the
input signal. hence its use is normally limited to circuits called oscillators where the
high efficiency & power gain inherent of class C is utilised together with tuned
circuits.
As a matter of information, high fidelity amplifiers used for professional audio etc.
use class A amplifier, where the amplifier works continoulsy over the full period of
the input signal.
Then there is class B type where the amplifier works for about 50% of the input
signal period. This type of amplifier is used especially in High frequency circuits
where the use of a Tuned circuit enables a full cycle to be generated even though
the amplifier is working as class B
A variation of clss B used especially in audio systems is with Two class B circuits
each operating synchronously over a particular half of the signal, the two halves
being combined to generate a whole signal cycle.
Then there are inbetween variations called class AB etc.
Modern digital technology has introduced Class D type amplifiers which are a
different lot altogether.
Class C amplifier.. A class D amplifier is more efficient than class B, and is more efficient than class C as well.
Class C tuned amplifier is a large signal tuned amplifier that amplifies high power signals of the radio frequency range. The amplifier is said to be Class C if the output cycle obtained is less than half a cycle of the full input cycle. This means the transistor remains active for less than half a cycle so that only that much part of the input waveform is reproduced at the output with amplification. For the remaining part, the transistor remains inactive.
Efficiency of class C amplifier is approximately 100%.

Class C because of its high power gain.
No, a push-pull amplifier can be built class A, class AB, class B, or class C depending on application.class A push-pull is used for low power audio usuallyclass AB push-pull is used for high power audio usuallyclass B and class C push-pull is used for very high power radio usually (B is typical for AM and C is typical for FM)
It depends on what you want to do with the transistor. Class A, common emitter, is used for voltage amplification. Class C, common collector, is used for current amplification. There are other classes and configurations but, again, it depends on what you want to do.
CLASS -C amplifier is having high ditortion due to which they are not used in audio frequency work
The three standard forms of analog amplifier biasing are:class A - the amplifier is biased in the center of its linear operating range, this is the most linear but least efficient type of amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are always conducting, even when there is no signal to ampliify).class B - the amplifier is biased at the cutoff point, this is an efficient amplifier but is only linear if operated as a push-pull amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are in cutoff and not conducting when there is no signal and through one half of every cycle, a class B push-pull amplifier has two sections that operate on alternate halves of the cycle).class C - the amplifier is biased in hard cutoff so that only the peaks of the input signal are amplified, this is the most efficient amplifier (because the transistors or tubes may be in cutoff and not conducting for more the 85% of the time) but it is not capable of linear amplification. An amplifier biased as class C is only suitable for use in RF transmitter power stages, where a resonant LC tank circuit will be excited into oscillation by the output of the amplifier and complete the missing parts of the cycle.There are other forms of biasing (e.g. class AB) analog amplifiers that get some of the advantages of two of the standard forms. There are also forms of amplifiers having other nonstandard classes (e.g. class D) that are not analog amplifiers, but instead operate by amplifying pulses.
It conducts for less than one half cycle of the input.
