Short answer: You can't.
Long answer: Function overloading is when you define two functions with the same name that take different arguments, e.g.:
void pickNose(int fingerId);
void pickNose(Finger finger);
This is a valid construct in C++, which supports function overloading. If you try this in C, you'll get some error about function already defined.
There is no such thing as function overloading in C; that is a feature of C++. Function overloading allows us to provide two or more implementations of the same function. Typically, we use function overloading so that the same function can cater for different types. For instance, we might provide one implementation that is optimised to handle an integer argument while another is optimised to handle a real argument. We can also use function overloading to provide a common implementation of a function which can then be invoked by overloads that handle the low-level type conversions.
It isn't a question, sorry.
Overloading, Overriding, Polymorphism, Information Hiding, Inheritance all these are CONCEPTS of C++ and Java. An Object Oriented Language and not of C language. Thats why Bjarne Stroustrup came up with C++ ...
Sizeof is an example.
Polymorphism, is an object-oriented programming concept, which relates to the ability to create a variable, function or an object that has more than one form. This allows the object to invoke the correct instance of the variable, function or other object based upon the object type. The most common use of polymorphism in OOP occurs when a parent class reference is used to refer to a child class object.

No. Operator and/or function overloading is only a C++ thing.

one function but multiple behaviours depending on the parameters

Try to be more precise; explain what you mean by the type of a function.
C does not support operator overloading. If you mean C++ operator overloading, it depends on exactly what you wanted to do. If you wanted to '+' to strings, then you could write: string operator+(string a, string b) { // do something }
Function overloading is used when you want to re-use the same function name with different argument types or a different number of arguments. Calculating the area of a circle isn't the sort of function that requires overloading since the only argument you need is the radius. double area_of_circle (const double radius) { const double pi=4*atan(1); return pi*radius*radius; }

Disks and partitions should be formatted before usage.
Explain the following terms in the context of object oriented programming. Also explain how these concepts are implemented in C++ by giving an example program for each.
