He is __________ tallest boy in our team.
Answer: C
The article is the: He is the tallest boy in our team.
A superlative (tallest, best, most beautiful) picks out one particular person or thing from a group, so it takes the definite article the.
A and an mean "any one", which contradicts the idea of the single tallest. An would also be wrong before the consonant sound of tallest. The sentence needs an article, so "None of these" is wrong.
Ordinal numbers behave the same way: the first, the second, the last, because each again marks out one particular item.
