Solution
The correct option is B a lot of / many Adjectives are words that describe a noun. We use lots, a lot and plenty in informal styles to talk about quantities, amounts and degree. "A lot of" is somewhat similar to "many" or "much". In this particular sentence, passengers are countable. So, in the second sentence many is the correct answer. Thus, in the first sentence, "a lot of" is the correct answer.
