I'm sure you could make the argument using some definition of best. Perhaps best in it's impact via software created in it rather than the language itself. Although then I think C would win over C++ because of Linux. I'm imagining a slightly tongue in cheek 'best' alongside an implication of subjectivity. But given this was a highschool teacher I wouldn't be surprised if it was instead a multi choice test question with a single "correct" answer? Which of course would be ridiculous.
