Popularity of an actor has nothing to do with the profits made by the movies : not always possible .An actor who has received the award can ensure his own income but can not guarantee the movie's success commercially.Sometimes, the award can be won by an actor who has low commercial success though he is known worldwide and earn highest salary(actors of art movies etc) so (E) fails.

(C) is clearly inferred ; it says that nothing beyond the award is needed for an actor to become the most popular.

Hope this helps !

E is wrong because nothing has been mentioned about the profits/revenue of a movie in which the actor got the blah blah award...So this is actually out of scope.

in inference questions we cannot assume anything outside the stimulus . . and for C the last line clearly states that lamma award winner is most recognized so no other reward is required. .

for E it tells about profitability of movies and we need to bring external assumption that profitable movies result from most recognized actors . .

C has too strong a language to be true. But rest 4 are worse.
So got no option other than C.

I doubt whether a ques like this can come in real exam.

@ koolpari . .this is an inference ques. no need to check if the statement is strong worded or not . . we do check that mainly in strengthen/ weaken and assumption questions. here you just need to find if the statement can be inferred from the stimulus or not . .in this case yes we can infer it . .stimulus is very strong worded one . infact a weak answer should be something to watch for because of such strong worded stimulus

@namrta movie makers are out of scope, the stimulus talks about the actors only
