The correct answer is "C".

Charlie Chaplin was an English actor and producer who acquired widespread popularity for his concept of "silent films". His most famous character was "The Tramp". It is considered one of the most important figures in the film industry's history.

His arrest to fame coincided with technological developments that lead to the creation of the "film industry". This made it possible for populations which were located thousands of miles away from where Chaplin was located to watch his productions.
