This question tests comparative vs. superlative forms. When comparing two things, use comparative forms like "better" or "worse." When comparing three or more things, use superlative forms like "best" or "worst." Think of it like a race: two runners compete for who's "faster," but three or more compete for who's "fastest." Option 1 → Uses "best" for two teams—like calling a two-person race "fastest." Option 2 → Same "best" problem, plus "one of" suggests more teams exist. Option 3 → "Better" is right, but "one team" sounds awkwardly redundant here. Option 4 → Perfect! Uses "better" for two teams with clean, direct phrasing.
