b. writing that will live forever because it is famous
c. writing that seems to come alive on the page

Explanation:

The Latin root "viv" means "alive". Vivid writing creates strong mental images, making the text seem to "come alive" on the page. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on people not dying, which is not related to the root's meaning in this context. Option B is about fame, not the "alive" aspect. Option D is about authors being alive, not the writing itself.

Answer:

C. Writing that seems to 'come alive' on the page
