Correct Answer: best


Solution : The correct option will be the fourth option.

Optimal: It denotes the most favourable or desirable; the best possible.

Best: It denotes the highest quality, excellence, or standing; most favourable or advantageous.

The other options are:

Minimum: It means the least or smallest amount; opposite in meaning to optimal.

Faulty: It denotes having defects or flaws; it is not synonymous with the idea of being the best.

Worst: It denotes the lowest quality, most unfavourable, or least desirable; opposite in meaning to optimal.

Therefore, the correct answer will be best.
