Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct option to improve the sentence is: any

Explanation: This option is grammatically correct. It uses the word any to indicate that the speaker is not going to buy any mangoes. The word any is used for interrogative and negative sentences.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

A little means some but it is used for uncountable nouns.

Much is used to refer to a large quantity but is used for uncountable nouns, which doesn't align with the intended meaning of the sentence.
