A comparative form compares two places, people, or things. I would go with option "B". It is the only word that could be used in a sentence to compare two things. Vanilla ice cream is worse than chocolate ice cream. That compares two things.
I hope this helped you!

Adverbs modify (describe) verbs or other adverbs and often end in -ly. You need to locate the verb to determine at least one of the adverbs (the action of the sentence.) This is a complex sentence because it has an independent clause (it was not exactly what he had in mind) and a subordinate clause (when he agreed to do the task). If you just look at the independent clause, or the one that can stand by itself, you will find the verb 'was'. Ask yourself 'was what'. The answer is not, which means it is the adverb. To find the adverb describing it, we again ask, 'not what'. The answer is exactly. So the answer is A.
I believe this question is incomplete. Please update it with additional details so that others can help you find an answer.
