It's not an intercept because....
The Rules wrote: Interceptions
One player on the opposing team may attempt to intercept a
thrown ball. To be able to make an interception, the player must:
• have the plastic ruler pass over at least part of the square the
intercepting play is standing in, and …
• have a tackle zone, and …
• be closer to the thrower than the thrower is to the target
player/square of the pass, and …
• be closer to the target player/square of the pass than the
thrower is to the target player/square of the pass.
Player C in the above example cannot intercept because to intercept you need to be between the thrower and the target square, which he is not.

Taking the above example you could intercept from the Bold X squares which are all eligible using the rules as stated above.

It is amazing how something that sounds so clear can be so confusing
