Explanation

The superlative degree of an adjective expresses the highest degree of a quality among three or more subjects. In the case of the adjective "bad," its comparative form is "worse," used to compare two subjects (e.g., "This meal is worse than that one"). However, when we want to express that something is the lowest or most negative in quality among many, we use the superlative form, which for "bad" is "worst."

Among the options provided:

A) "very bad" and D) "extremely bad" are both phrases that intensify the original adjective but do not indicate a degree of comparison relative to others.
B) "worse" is the comparative form, used in scenarios involving two entities, which does not apply here.
C) "worst" indicates that one subject is worse than all others in a group, making it the correct answer. It conveys the idea of being the least desirable or most unfavorable among various options.

Thus, "C: worst" is the accurate superlative form of "bad," highlighting the extreme negative quality being described.
