Explicação:

O comparativo serve para comparar as características dos substantivos e o superlativo para exaltar a característica de um substantivo, sem compará-lo com outro. No comparativo, quando o adjetivo usado é curto (uma ou duas sílabas), é terminado com ER, sem as palavras MORE/LESS, (mais e menos, respectivamente), e quando é longo, usa-se MORE/LESS. No superlativo, se o adjetivo é curto, ele é finalizado com EST, e quando é longo, escreve-se THE MOST (o melhor) antes do mesmo. No seu exercício, não há como usar superlativo, pois em todas as alternativas, se compara.
