Solution

The correct option is A little

The proverb, ‘Great oaks from little acorns grow’ means: ‘Something of small or modest proportions may grow into something very large or impressive’. The intent of the proverb is to encourage one to not give up on something because their abilities are limited/ perceived to be limited. Hence, the word, ‘little’ as given in option A completes the proverb.

The other words given in options B, C and D do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect.
