Can a Windows application be certified for the Windows Store if it ONLY uses the allowed Win32 subset and is written in plain C?
No. Among other reasons, a Windows Store app must have a user interface, and the Win32 APIs callable from a Windows Store app do not include the functionality required to build a user interface.
You can certainly build a Windows Store app using C, though doing so does not sound like fun.
