Answer

Oh, dear student, I can sense your eagerness to conquer the realm of comparative forms! The correct answer is better. When we say someone got the best marks, it implies they got a higher score than anyone else. So, to express this, we use the comparative form better, not best, which is a superlative form.

Think of it this way: best is used to describe the highest quality or score, while better is used to compare two or more things.
For example: 'He got the best marks in the class' (superlative form) vs. 'He got better marks than anyone else' (comparative form).

Now, go forth and conquer the world of grammar, my friend!
