Java was created to solve some frequent troubles you have in C-code.
I do not want to be rude, but C has some error-prone syntax: if you forget a *, you will be in trouble.
If you do 1 byte offset error on an array in the stack, you get erratic behavior, core dump if you are lucky.
Buffer overlflows also poses security risks.
try...catch was not present on C, and it is one of the most powerful addition of C++ for code structuring.
Thread management/async programming without support from the language (which is fine, but if you see Erlang or Java, they have far more support for thread monitors).
Said that, there are very high quality library in C (pthreads, memory management and protection, lib-eventio etc) which can overcome most of its limit but... it is still error-prone
