How to i apply for calss c ip addresses? Who do i contact?

You do not have to apply for a class C IP address. Class C IP addresses are
basically reserved for LANs. ex. a network of computers at work. Class C IP
addresses are not meant for the Internet. You need to apply for a class A or
B IP address at www.internic.com .

example of class C IP 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.254
( 192.168.0.0&192.168.0.255 are used to broadcast)

Whoa. Lots of confusion and misinformation in this one. Ignore
everything in this post, as it's entirely wrong.

You need to contact your upstream provider, which is usually your ISP.
Per the IANA guidelines, you'll need to have a very good reason for
needing a full class C block, since most companies can do fine with a
few addresses and NAT. If you are going to be a provider, such as web
hosting, then you can usually justify it. Some ISP's charge for this,
though I can't fathom why, the addresses didn't cost them anything...

If for some reason you can't get them through your ISP, you can apply
at www.iana.org but I don't know if they even bother to answer any
more, the numbers are so over-allocated.
