Are the type of disk 0 and 1 basic disks or dynamic? You can open Disk Management from the start menu to check the disks and extend the partitions on them. If the disks are basic, they have to be converted to dynamic or the partitions on them cannot be extended to another disk. You can convert the disks manually or select Extend Volume in the right click menu to extend the partition directly then the disks can be converted automatically. Please note that once you convert the disks to dynamic you can no longer boot from the partitions on them except the current boot partition.
Please also note that a partition can only extend to the unallocated space so in your case you have to shrink the partitions on the 500G raid disk first.
Best Regards,

As mentioned above, you have to shrink D or E drive to leave some unallocated disk space for the C drive. To shrink a partition, open Disk Management, right click on a partition, select Shrink Volume and enter the disk space you want to shrink. Once done, right click on C drive and select Extend Volume and add the unallocated space. This will convert both disk 0 and 1 to dynamic and you will not be able to boot from any partitions on them except the current boot partition.
Best Regards,
