We call a subspace Y of a Banach space X a DBR subspace if its unit ball By admits farthest points from a dense set of points of X. In this paper, we study DBR subspaces of C(K). In the process, we study boundaries, in particular, the Choquet boundary of any general subspace of C(K). An infinite compact Hausdorff space K has no isolated point if and only if any finite co-dimensional subspace, in particular, any hyperplane is DBR in C(K). As a consequence, we show that a Banach space X is reflexive if and only if X is a DBR subspace of any superspace. As applications, we prove that any M-ideal or any closed *-subalgebra of C(K) is a DBR subspace of C(K). It follows that C(K) is ball remotal in C(K)**. © 2009.
