Correct Answer: very little money


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The idiom "chicken feed" refers to a small amount of money, often implying that it's insignificantly low. In the sentence, it suggests that even though the uncle's job pays very little, he still loves it. The focus is on the contrast between his affection for his job and the low salary he receives.
