Numeral Adjectives are those adjectives which are used to denote the number of nouns or the order in which they stand. They are also commonly called Adjectives of Number. In simpler terms we can say that Adjective of numbers tell us the number of people or things and maintain clarity by giving exact information. Indefinite numeral adjective is something that gives a number but not in exact amount. In this sentence, the blank requires a indefinite numeral adjective. Such is a determiner; so is an adverb. Thus option A and D can be eliminated. Much is usually used for uncountable noun whereas people in this case is countable. "So many" is the indefinite numeral adjective that would fit this blank.

Option B is correct.
