Hint: Adverb is a word or an expression that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, clause, preposition or sentence expresses a relation of place, time, manner, cause, degree and etc. For example: gently, quiet, then, there).

Complete step by step answer:
"An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts." 

If we talk about the degrees of comparison, adverbs can also be used to show this like adjectives. In order to create the comparative form of the adverb ( that ends with ly ) , "more" is used and similarly, for the superlative case, "most" is used. 

If we consider the sentence, we can know that it is superlative by looking at the words "of all". Thus, the adverb with the "most" will be appropriate to use. 

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
One of the important things you need to take care of is the placement of the adverbs. It is very important to add the adverb at the appropriate place otherwise it will make an awkward sentence.
