The correct answer is 'b. more energetically', as it properly completes the comparative sentence about cheering efforts.

The correct word to complete the sentence "Julian cheered his teammates to victory _______ than the team captain" is b. more energetically. This sentence is comparing Julian's cheering efforts to that of the team captain and indicating that he cheered with more energy. Since the sentence is a comparative statement rather than a superlative one, the appropriate form of the adverb 'energetically' is 'more energetically', rather than 'most energetically'. 'Energeticalliest' and 'energeticallier' are not correct adverb forms in English.

This choice indicates that Julian cheered his teammates with more intensity than the team captain. Thus, the completed sentence is: 'Julian cheered his teammates to victory more energetically than the team captain.'
