Assume the question was for C#, not C.
":" is syntax to extend a type. If the type extended from is another class, they form a class hierarchy and the "inheritance" is established:
For example:
class Base {}
class Derived : Base {}
Derived extends Base, and thus inherits from Base.
C is not an object oriented language and therefore has no native support for inheritance.
C++ allows multiple inheritance while Java does not. In my opinion, multiple inheritance is not useful because it can get very confusing very quick. For polymorphism, C++ does early binding by default, while Java does late binding by default. Late binding is more useful than early binding.
Inheritance.
It was the designer's decision. One would have asked the similar question if it had been design the other way. It would not be fun with another hybrid, in inheritance design, language just like C++.
single level inheritance eg ( class B extends Class A) Multilevel inheritance eg( class C extends class B and class B extends class A) multiple inheritance Class C inherits Class A features as well as Class B featues.This type of inheritance is not allowed in JAVA.
C is not object-oriented -- you can't even use single inheritance let alone multiple inheritance.
Multiple inheritance in C# In C#, the classes are only allowed to inherit from a single parent class, which is called single inheritance. But you can use interfaces or a combination of one class and interface(s), where interface(s) should be followed by class name in the signature.

You don't. Inheritance is a feature of object oriented programming languages. C is not object oriented.

Code Re-use is one of the biggest uses of Inheritance
The C Programming language doesn't actually support inheritance, it only supports composition. However, the following code demonstrates how we can use composition to approximate single inheritance: struct Base { int data; }; struct Derived { struct Base base; // ... }; int main (void) { struct Derived d; d.base.data = 42; return 0; }

She received a large inheritance from her wealthy grandmother.
Yes.
