Re the original post...
Assuming that the problem is not to do with your playing (please don't be offended) and that you have checked that pads and springs are all working as they should, there is one other thing that could cause this.
Sometime when clarinets have moulded bodies a thin layer of plastic can form over the tonehole ON THE INSIDE of the bore. Usually this would be detected when they were putting the keys on, and easily scraped away. If this has happened in the lowest hole on the clarinet, OR in the hole for the left hand index finger, it could make C sound like B (at either of the B/Cs in the upper register).
This is quite uncommon- but I've twice before encountered it, once with a no-name red coloured chinese instrument, and once with John Denman "Kinder-klari" instruments (and on several of those).
It's not likely, but possible that this is causing your problem
