Solution
The correct option is A bad / badly
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.
Thus, according to the rules, the correct answer will be Option B.
Option A and C are incorrect, as 'worse' is an example of a comparative adjective. It is used to compare the characteristics of two nouns present in the sentence.
Option D is incorrect. 'Worst' is a superlative adjective which is used when comparing three or more things.
