Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage praises writing that expressed complex ideas with "clarity" while maintaining subtlety. "Clear" captures this quality of transparent communication.
Choice A is incorrect because "confusing" contradicts clarity. Choice B is incorrect because "lengthy" refers to length, not clarity. Choice D is incorrect because "colorful" doesn't address comprehensibility.
