charghwI' has already flawlessly translated your sentence as you wrote it,
but I would make a slight adjustment in both the English and Klingon.
"I did 'A', 'B', and 'C'. 'C' was better than the others."
{~A ~B je ~C je vInIDta'. ~C QaQ law' latlh QaQ puS.}
It is actually obvious that you meant "'C' was the best of the ones I did!"
But I'm not content to rely on context when it's so trivial to clarify the
translation.
