Correct option is

D

the tallest

Option A - 'Tall' is the positive degree of the adjective. We only use the positive degree when there is no comparison in the sentence, but as the sentence explains that Rupinder's height is more than anyone else's, we can't use 'tall' here. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Taller' is the comparative degree of the adjective. As the sentence explains that no one is as tall is Rupinder, we need the superlative degree of the adjective and not the comparative degree. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'More taller' is grammatically wrong. As 'taller' is already the comparative degree of the adjective, we can't use 'more' which is again used for comparisons. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'The tallest' is the superlative degree of the adjective. We can use the superlative degree of the adjective here as the sentence explains the comparison of height between three people, but no one is as tall as Rupinder. Thus option D is the correct answer.

'Raghu is taller than Robert but Rupinder is still the tallest.'
