The correct answer is 'heavier - heaviest'.

Key Points

  • ​The comparative degree is generally formed by adding '-er' to the end of the adjective followed by 'than'. This is the case with monosyllabic adjectives.
    • For example:- happier.
    • On the contrary, in the case of polysyllabic adjectives, the adjectives remain the same and use the word 'more' before the adjective.
      • For example:- more beautiful.
  • ​The superlative degree is generally formed by adding '-est' to the end of the adjectives.
  • Article 'the' is used before every superlative degree word.
    • For example:- The happiest place.
  • For the given word i.e. heavy the degrees are given below:
    • Heavy - Heavier - Heaviest.

Hence the answer will be 'heavier - heaviest'.
