Most commonly it is C drive but Hard drives can use any letter in the Alphabet (A-z. Usually when a floppy drive is available it makes itself A drive. and a dvd/cd player usually makes itself D or E. but these are automatically assigned these letters and you can change the letters of the drive (not by renaming won't work like that).

∙ 12y agoThe convention of assigning letters to drives is mainly a MS-DOS/Windows thing. (It happens in other operating systems as well, like VM/CMS in which the drives are actually "virtual" drives, but I assume you're talking about the much more widely known Windows operating system.)
Technically you can assign whatever letter you want to a drive, but by tradition the first hard drive is usually C (A and B were used for floppy drives, back when computers actually had floppy drives).
