Solution

The correct option is C hard

The adverb “hard” in this context is used to modify the verb “work’. It indicates that the action is being done very intensely. This means that you have to make a big effort at your work and dedicate energy to succeed or to achieve something worthwhile.
When the adverb “hardly” is used to modify a verb it means that the action is not being done very intensely. Therefore, the adverb “hardly” has the opposite meaning of “hard” and reduces the intensity of the action.
"Hardest" is the superlative degree of the adverb "hard" and is used to show a comparison between many actions.
"More harder" is incorrect as hard is sufficient to express the context.
