AP world or just honors??

Hi, I’m new here. (Please let me no if I’m posting in the wrong board or anything) So I just had my first day of AP World History, and the teacher basically told us that the MOST we can expect to get is a “C” in her class.(Not that I plan on getting anything lower than a “B”)
So I’m wondering how a “C” or any other grade lower than an “A” compare to an “A” in an honors class, in terms of applying for college and such? And is it worth the drop in GPA?
btw I’m a sophmore if that matters…
