Answer:
In order to fill in the blank with the suitable degree of the adverb, let's understand what adverbs are. Adverbs are words that describe something about the verbs. For example,'' I ran fast''. Here, 'fast' describes the way 'I' ran, so 'fast' is an adverb. Degrees of the adverbs explain us the intensity of an action, adjective or another adverb. For example, ''She ran too fast''. Here, 'fast' is the adverb and 'too' intensifies how fast she ran.
NOTE: As the sentence doesn't emphasise on intensifying the action, we will use the positive form of the adverb/normal adverb to describe the verb/adjective/noun.
Option A - 'More highly' has 'more', which is the comparative degree of the adverb. As we need the adverb in its positive degree, we can't use 'more highly' here. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Most highly' has 'most', which is the superlative degree of the adverb. As we need the adverb in its positive degree, we can't use 'more highly' here. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Higher' is the comparative degree of the adverb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Highly' is the positive degree of the adverb which explains more about the adjective 'respected'. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
'A good teacher is highly respected by all.'
