In Britain, it’s commonly thought that drinking hot milk before you go to bed (A.had better to B.is better to C.is supposed to D.should be good) help you sleep.

The answer is C, but why not B?

For B to work at all, it would need something to compare to. In Britain, it’s commonly thought that drinking hot milk before you go to bed is better to help you sleep than whisky. (it's an awkward sentence, though) C is the best answer.
