- Aat the cheap hotel in the town.
- Bat the cheaper hotel in the town.
- Cat the cheapest hotel in the town.
- Dat a cheapest hotel in the town.
Explanation
The superlative 'cheapest' requires the definite article: 'at the cheapest hotel'. 'A cheapest' is ungrammatical, and 'cheap'/'cheaper' do not express the superlative the context implies. Hence (C).
