In the Electrophile-first approach for covalent drug discovery, the starting point for the design of the covalent inhibitor is typically **The warhead**. This approach involves designing a reactive electrophile (warhead) that can form a covalent bond with a specific nucleophilic site on the target protein, thus providing a mechanism for selectivity and activity.

So, the answer is:
**C. The warhead.**
