Detailed Solution

Concept: Adjectives are words that add specificity to nouns or pronouns.
Adjectives are classified into three types: positive, comparative, and superlative.
Most nouns have a comparative version derived by adding '-er' to the original word. The term's superlative form is generated by adding '-est' to the original word.
The word 'the' is used before words with superlative degrees because the superlative degree of the word can signify just one object.
The sentence in the question refers to marks in the history test.'
Option A is wrong as 'the' is not used with a comparative degree of a word like 'better.'
Option B, 'best' is wrong as superlative degree must always be followed by the article 'the.'
Option C is correct as the superlative degree is followed by the article 'the'
Option D is wrong as 'good' is a positive degree word and 'the' is used with superlative degree words.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
