Instructions

In each of the following sentences the incorrect part of the sentence is underlined.
Choose an alternative from the four given options so that the sentence is rendered correct.

Question 80

Which team has the best record, yours or theirs?

The underlined portion is fine, except for the use of the word "best".  

The sentence presents  a comparison between two teams: yours and theirs. The original sentence uses "the best", which is a superlative, typically used when comparing more than two items. However, since we are comparing only two teams, the correct form should be a comparative — i.e., "better" rather than "best."

So options A and B are anyways eliminated. In case of option C, "Which one team..." sounds redundant — “which” already implies a singular choice, so “one team” is awkward.

The correct choice is option D.
