Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The text focuses on Raphael Lemkin coining "genocide" and the extensive effort he put into campaigning for it to be recognized as a punishable crime, despite facing many obstacles. Option A is incorrect because the term wasn't readily accepted early on. Option B is wrong as he did not receive large support independently. Option D is incomplete, as his work extended beyond just his personal experiences to long-term advocacy. Option C accurately captures the central idea: the term is now widely accepted, but only after Lemkin's immense work to create and legitimize it as a punishable offense.
# Answer:
C. The idea of genocide is widely accepted today, but it took an incredible amount of hard work from Lemkin to create the term and convince others to make it a punishable offense.
