You had it right to start with.
A is (was) /8, B is /16, C is /24
All on human easily readable byte boundaries in IPv4 space.
The RFC-1918 internal space was allocated from a /8, a /12, and a /16 sized block. Those aren't A, B, or C network sizes. Whoever corrected you is confused.
Anyone who networked before and during the CIDR transition won't forget this...
