Solution

The correct option is D Arjuna was a skillful archer.
An adjective can exist in three forms–positive, comparative and superlative. The positive form is the base form of the adjective. The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. The superlative form expresses the highest degree. For most adjectives with two syllables, the comparative degree is formed by using the word 'more' and the superlative degree is formed by using the word, 'most'.
The adjective, 'skillful' is the positive form. Its comparative degree of comparison is 'more skillful'. Its superlative degree of comparison is 'most skillful'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect as 'more skillful' is the comparative form of the adjective, not the positive form.
Options C and D are incorrect as 'skilfuller' and 'skillfullest' are incorrect usage of the said adjective.
