As someone else already pointed out in answer on this thread, you may be
missing the xbase-clients package, which would enable B's sshd to set up
the "proxyed X server".

Yes, because the middle step (X forwarding from B) cannot be
accomplished.

A's sshd is untouched. If any, you should put your client options in
~/.ssh/options.

This is ok; it just can't be used because of the missing package, AFAICT.

You should be certain that the equivalent package in C is installed. If
it has a working X installation, it should be fine.
