Platinum is the most precious metal.

An adjective can exist in three forms-positive, comparative and superlative. The positive form is the base form of the adjective. The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. The superlative form expresses the highest degree. For most adjectives with two syllables, the comparative degree is formed by using the word 'more' and the superlative degree is formed by using the word, 'most'.

The adjective, 'precious' (which has two syllables) is the positive form. Its comparative degree of comparison is 'more precious' . Its superlative degree of comparison is 'most precious'. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Options A and B are incorrect as 'preciouser' and 'preciousest' are incorrect usages of the said adjective.

Option D is incorrect as 'precious' is the positive form, not the superlative form.
