Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The superlative form "best" is used here because the sentence implies that Mohan is the most significant or most outstanding friend of the speaker. "Better" would not be appropriate as it's a comparative form.
Thus, the correct answer is "best."
