Answer

Brief Explanations:

Samuel Pepys's diary is renowned for its candid recording of public and historical events (like the Great Fire of London, the Great Plague) along with personal observations. Option A: His writing style wasn't the primary reason for popularity. Option B: His writing wasn't mainly comical or informal in a way that drove popularity. Option D: Using codes/shorthand was for privacy, not popularity. Option E: While personal details exist, the key draw was the historical/candid public event records. So option C is correct.

Answer:

C. He recorded public and historical events with much candor.
