Basically what is the system level difference between language C and C++ ?
Could you give us an example of what you mean by system level.

well the main difference is that c is a procedural language while c++ is an object oriented language.
C is like a predecessor of c++ with c++ having all functionalities of c along with more emphasis on data rather than just the functions
But i don't think you are looking for details on this.
On the machine level,all i can say is that c programs are executed faster than the similar c++ programs on the binary level.

There are probably more systems with a C implementation than a C++ implementation, but aside from that the difference is nil.

C++ is not an object oriented language. It's a multi-paradigm language that supports object oriented programming.

Perhaps if you intentionally write inefficient C++ code to fudge the comparison in favor of C. Unbiased comparisons on modern implementations show C++ to be very competitive (if not on equal grounds) with C in terms of performance.
