Solution
The correct option is B better
Adverbs of manner are used to describe how something happens. An adjective is used to modify a noun or noun clause whereas, an adverb is placed after a clause, as it modifies the whole action described by the clause.
Option B, better, is an example of a comparative adjective. It is used to compare the characteristics of two nouns present in the sentence and since, two nouns are present in the sentence, the correct answer will be Option B.
The other remaining options are incorrect.
Option A and D, 'very' is used before predicative adjectives.
Option C, the best, is a superlative adjective which is used when comparing three or more things.
