Solution

The correct option is B worse
The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a higher degree of the quality than the positive. It is used when two things (or two sets of things) are compared.
The format for comparative degree is '<adjective> + er than' or 'more/less <adjective> than'.
There are some exceptions to this rule.
Bad worse worst : are the positive, comparative and superlative forms of bad, respectively.
Hence option B is correct.
'The worst' is the superlative form used to denote the peak position.
