Solution

The best replacement for the underlined part of the sentence is option B: "the former path was the better one to take". This option maintains the correct use of the word "former" to refer to the first of the two mentioned subjects (Sam and Pat), and it keeps the sentence structure clear and concise. Options A and D incorrectly suggest that the path itself was "former", and option C incorrectly uses "former's" as a possessive form, which is not appropriate in this context.
