C is definitely the most efficient language to write an OS. Unix was translated from assembly to C back in the day.

You could write an Operating System in just about any programming language.
You could write one in Logo with turtle graphics if you wanted to.

Mostly operating systems are written using C. Like linux kernel is written in C. But u can add gui like things later by combining other languages

You could write an OS in Java if you wanted. Pascal would work. Do you understand what an operating system is?

You could write an OS in any language... but most likely, no single language would be feasable.

Some would obviously be easier to do than others.
