The source packages are available. You are free to check what they contain.

What research have you done so far? Is this paper homework for a class? If so, what class? What kind of depth do you need?

CentOS packages up open source applications as one system. Those applications are all written by different people, in different languages. There is no one "langauge" that is used to write it all. Some things will be written in C, some in C++, some in go, perl, python, bash, ruby or just about anything else that you can think of.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Linux kernel is written in C.
Many system utilities are based on python - for example 'yum'

The authors of any particular package are entirely free to choose their own language. It's not possible to generalise. If you want to know what a particular thing is written in then download the SRPM for it and have a look.
