c flat.
the semitone above b flat is b, with is equal to c flat. So the diatonic semitone is c flat because it has to be a different note name.

The black key between C and D is called C-sharp (C#) or D-flat (Db), depending on the musical context. In Western music, each black key can be named in two ways, reflecting its relationship to the adjacent white keys. C# is one semitone above C, while Db is one semitone below D.

The diatonic semitone for F is E. In the context of the diatonic scale, the semitone refers to the smallest interval between two notes within that scale. In the key of C major, for example, the notes are C, D, E, F, G, A, and B, with F and E being a semitone apart.
A diatonic semitone is usually represented by the adjacent letter names. The next higher letter pitch to C is D. The answer is D (natural).
C-sharp to D, or C to D-flat would be a semitone.

To lower a note by a semitone, you would use the flat (♭) symbol. For example, if you have the note C and you want to lower it by a semitone, you would play C♭. Similarly, if you needed to lower D, you would use D♭.
