Solution
The correct option is D better / the best
The three different forms of comparison are the positive, the comparative and the superlative. The positive is the form of the adjective that describes one noun. The comparative form of the adjective compares two nouns. The superlative form of the adjective compares more than two nouns. In the second sentence, there are two persons, or comparison is being done between two individuals. Thus, we are supposed to use comparative degree. This restricts our choice to Option B and Option D. In the third sentence, the number of nouns being compared is more than two which means we need to use the superlative degree i.e. "best."Option D is the correct answer.
