Actually, it's much, much more elegant than that.

Hit M-x customize (press ENTER). Go to the Programming group, then to
Languages, and then C. You should find everything you need in there. You
can pretty much customize everything. When you hit the "Save for Future
Sessions" button, it will automatically adjust your .emacs file
appropriately and safely.
