Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: very proud

Explanation: The correct answer is C.✅ ❌Few proud" is incorrect; “few” refers to countable nouns and cannot modify “proud.” ✅"Very proud" is the correct phrase to express a high degree of pride. ❌“Much proudest” is grammatically wrong; the superlative form “proudest” does not fit with “much.” ❌“Very proudly” is an adverb and does not fit with “was” (which requires an adjective). Correct sentence: His father was very proud of his power over the horse.
