What are some reasons to choose C over C++?

There are none.
Well, there are a few. If you don't have a C++ compiler that targets the platform you're looking for, or if you're working on a project (that somebody else started) that uses C liberally.
Also, if you're making a few low-level functions that will get called via a foreign function interface by another language, C is reasonable. And it's fine for making an interpreted programming language -- you never have to fret about the C++'s runtime stuff.

Not every machine is blessed with a C++ compiler.
Some really small devices only have C.
