You seem to forget including the choices in this question. Nevertheless, to help you, I could just tell what a superlative is so you could identify it on your own.
Superlatives are adjectives that are expressed in their greatest extent. For example, when you describe something so beautiful than any other thing you've ever seen, you describe it as 'most beautiful'.
