Solution

The correct option is E the greatest / most popular
The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun.
'The greatest and most popular' are superlative forms.
'Greater and more popular' are comparative forms.
'Great and popular' are positive forms.
Hence Option C is correct.
