- Cthe best of the two.

Explanation
When exactly two persons or things are compared, the comparative degree is used, not the superlative. Here the comparison is between two photographs, so 'the best' must be replaced with 'the better'. The superlative 'best' is reserved for comparisons involving three or more. Hence part (c) contains the error, and option (C) is correct.
