[单项选择]Although there had been an astonishing variety of small cameras developed in the 1880s, it was not until George Eastman introduced the Kodak in 1888 that the mass appeal of photography seized America and Europe and thereafter spread quickly to the far comers of the earth. Eastman called his now famous camera the Kodak for no particular reason except that he liked the word. It was easy to remember and could be pronounced in any language.
An immediate consequence of Eastman’s invention was a number of amateur (业余的) photographs that soon became known as snapshots. The word was borrowed from hunters’ jargon. When a hunter fired a gun from the hip, without taking careful aim, it was described as a snapshot. Photographers referred to the process of taking pictures as shooting, and they would take pride in a good day’s shoot the way country gentlemen would boast about the number of birds brought down in an afternoon.

A. It marked the beginning of manufacturing small cameras.
B. It met the need of photographers in America and Europe.
C. It made picture-taking suddenly popular among ordinary people.
D. It made the work of professionals more enjoyable.
