Solution
The correct option is D many It is clear that the sentence states that the number of toys in the box is much larger that what the is already there.
Option D is correct as "many" indicates this increase in the number of toys. Moreover, toys are countable objects which makes a countable adjective such as "many" suitable for use.
Option A and C are incorrect as they are the opposite in meaning. They denote less quantity. They are the complete opposites of "more".
Option B is incorrect as "much" is used with uncountable nouns.
