Solution

The correct option is A nearest
The correct answer is option B.
Since a place 'most near in space' has to be described, a comparison has to be made and a superlative has to be used.
A) Next is not a word used for comparison.
B) Nearest is a superlative and hence, is the correct answer.
C) Nearer is a comparative.
D) Near is not used for comparison.
