Correct answer
The highest or tallest gear.
The highest or tallest gear usually multiplies torque less than lower gears. At equal engine rpm it permits higher theoretical wheel speed, but does not guarantee the highest actual speed: that depends on available power and resistance. Do not confuse a higher gear with a numerically larger reduction ratio; first gear usually has greater reduction and torque multiplication.
