Solution
The correct option is D some Some, less, little and any are adjectives or quantifiers which are used to express quantity.
Option A) little is used with uncountable nouns which are singular.
Option B) less is used with qualities and quantities that are uncountable. It can be called the 'comparative form' of 'little'.
Option C) some is generally used in affirmative sentences when asking about something or offering something.
Option D) any is used in negative and interrogative sentences.
The sentence given talks about a person by the name 'David' who has come from 'England'. In this case, options A) and B) are incorrect because there is no quantity being spoken about. Option D) any is incorrect because the sentence is not a negative one.
