Correct Answer: least reliable


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The word least already indicates a superlative degree, so adding reliable after it is sufficient. Least is already a superlative form, and it does not require the additional "-est" suffix when used with adjectives.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "She is the least reliable person of all."
