Could someone please tell me if m. 176-178 is
the only section in C and then returns to A clarinet
at m. 183?

There is no C clarinet in the William Tell Overture. What you're likely looking at is a C version of the English Horn solo lines written on the stave above the clarinet part.

It's nice of the publisher to provide an option if the ensemble doesn't have an EH. But I've always wondered: why isn't the EH passage transposed for clarinet in A? For that matter, why isn't it transposed for Oboe? The passage would fit on the instrument, the oboe would be closer to the intended tone color, and neither oboe has any notes of its own in the Andante section.
