A phrase that acts like a noun in the sentence is called a Noun Phrase. It contains nouns and other associated words which modify the noun.When speaking specifically, we use "most" with a prepositional phrase that limits the number to a specific group. Note the prepositional phrase defines the group by including a modifier- an adjective, another prepositional phrase or clause.Option C contains the required structure to act like a Noun Phrase and also the word 'guests' here is definite therefore " the" is placed before the word. Hence option C is the correct answer.Whereas, option A,B and D are not structurally applicable.
