Please provide a minimal sufficient coding example and try to formulate your question a bit more specific. With the dataset you gave, the answer is A-1 B-0 C-0
If you want to do cluster analysis, check the functions in the package cluster. for finding the optimal number of clusters in a dataset, all tools are available there. Also take a look at the functions hclust and kmeans and the related plots.
