adelaidean,
A C-clef on the fourth line of the stave is called tenor clef. It is used for the viola da gamba and for upper ranges of bass-clef instruments such as the bassoon, cello, euphonium, double bass, and tenor trombone. Treble clef may also be used for the upper extremes of these bass-clef instruments.
The soprano clef is a specific position of the C clef that features C4 on the lowest line of the staff:
In older music, it was used to write vocal parts for soprano, which is a high women’s or child’s voice (soprano is the highest voice type). The vocal range of a soprano voice is usually from around C4 up to G5, or higher.
The placement of the clef makes the area of the staff coincide almost perfectly with the range of the soprano. Practically every note written for a soprano will stay inside the staff, without having to resort to ledger lines. This was the advantage that the soprano clef provided.
Soprano clef was sometimes used for keyboard music as well.
Next comes mezzo-soprano, which is a medium female voice type. The normal range of a mezzo-soprano is from around A3 up to A5.
The mezzo-soprano clef places the center of the design on the 2nd lowest line of the staff (one line above soprano clef):
This places A3 on the lowest staff line, which again avoiding ledger lines as much as possible by adjusting the main staff area to the mezzo-soprano range.
Just like soprano clef, mezzo-soprano clef is no longer in use, but it still exists in older vocal scores.

This answer is completely wrong. There are five C clefs, each showing middle C on a different line. From bottom line to top they are soprano, mezzo soprano, alto ("viola clef"), tenor and baritone clefs. Three of the given answers could be correct.
