A. many
Feedback In everyday English (natural English) English people do not use ‘much’ and ‘many’ in positive sentences, they prefer ‘a lot of’: There are a lot of tourists here in the summer. They usually use ‘much’ and ‘many’ in negative sentences and questions: Are there many students here from Japan? In spoken English and informal writing we tend to use: a lot, a lot of, lots of with countable and uncountable nouns.Example: How many students are there in the classroom? - There are a lot. In formal written English it is also possible (and preferable) to use many and much rather than a lot of, lots of and a lot. Example:There are many students.
