A courier company changes its pricing for sending a package. The cost $C$ of sending a parcel weighing $P$ pounds (where $P$ can be zero) is now 30 cents for the first pound and 7 cents for each additional pound. However, there is a minimum charge of 50 cents for any package that weighs something. What is the formula for the cost $C$ if $P$ includes the weight in pounds?
A) $C = \max(50, 30 + 7P)$
B) $C = 30 + 7(P-1)$
C) $C = 0$ if $P = 0$; otherwise $C = \max(50, 30 + 7(P-1))$
D) $C = 30P + 7$
