The correct answer is

most certainly

The task is to replace the highlighted words “most sure” so that the sentence becomes grammatically correct and natural.

The verb phrase in the clause is “has ... come around”. The blank sits between the auxiliary “has” and the main verb “come”, so the word that fills it must modify the verb. A word that modifies a verb is an adverb, not an adjective.

“Sure” is an adjective, so “most sure” cannot describe the action of coming around; an adverb is required in this position.

“Most certainly” is an adverbial phrase (the adverb “certainly” intensified by “most”) and fits perfectly, giving the natural sense that the trend has definitely returned this season.

“Most surely” is grammatically an adverb too, but it is far less idiomatic here and sounds forced; standard English strongly prefers “most certainly” in this collocation.

“Very certainly” is non-idiomatic – “very” does not normally intensify “certainly” – and “very sure” again uses an adjective, which cannot modify the verb.

Therefore, only “most certainly” produces a correct, idiomatic sentence.

The correct replacement is most certainly.
