Directories are only followed if you use -r aka --recursive.  Note that in my
example I did so.  However, if you added -r to your example you would get any
directory in the current directory named *.c recursively.  IOW it would
recursively copy a directory named foo.c but would not copy foo/bar.c

Simply put, *.c as the source is expanded by the shell globbing.  Rsync is
actually given a list of every file/directory that matches *.c.  Then without
--recursive it ignores the ones that are directories.  Without --specials it
ignores those too.
