Answer

$B = 1.18\times 10^{-7}~T$

Work Step by Step

Note that the straight sections of wire do not produce any magnetic field at $C$ We can write the expression for the magnetic field due to an arc of current: $B = \frac{\mu_0~i~\phi}{4~\pi~R}$ We can find the magnetic field at $C$ due to the arc of current with radius $R= 9.26~cm$: $B = \frac{\mu_0~i~\phi}{4~\pi~R}$ $B = \frac{(4\pi\times 10^{-7}~H/m)~(0.0348~A)~(\pi~rad)}{(4~\pi)~(0.0926~m)}$ $B = 1.18\times 10^{-7}~T$
