You are wrong.
A C program is what gets translated.
A C program not the result of the translation.

ISO/IEC 9899
5.1 Conceptual models
5.1.1 Translation environment
5.1.1.1 Program structure

    1 A C program need not all be translated at the same time. 
      The text of the program is kept in units called source files, 
      (or preprocessing files) in this International Standard.
