Question CAT B / CAT C airfields

i would assume that most of the strips in PNG are CAT C due to the obvious un orthodox high risk nature of the arrivals and departures, being conducted in unfavourable winds, terrain, devoid of navaids, conditions of the runway, slope, steep gradient for the desent, cloud base, etc etc.
Any of you gents care to explain in detail perhaps the definitons of CAT B and CAT C airfields?
tried everything under the sun, googled and so forth and came up dry on this one. maybe some bush pilots current or ex, may fill me in..
thanks guys and fly happy
