To find the difference between two numbers, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. In this case, the larger number is 18 and the smaller number is -35 (since we are subtracting a negative number, it is equivalent to adding a positive number). 
So, 
$$18 - (-35) = 18 + 35 = 53$$ 
Therefore, the difference is 53, which corresponds to choice (C).
