Solution

The correct option is A Some
Let's identify the noun and whether the sentence is positive or negative.
Dogs is the noun and is countable.
The word 'not' is not present, which makes the sentence positive.
Usually 'any' and 'much' are used in negative and interrogative sentences. The sentence is positive, which means Option B and C are incorrect.

'Less' dogs were barking.. doesn't make the formation of the sentence correct. Therefore Option D is incorrect.

Option A 'Some' is the correct answer. 'Some' is used in positive sentences for both countable and uncountable nouns.
