Correct Answer: Very few people


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The phrase "very little people" is grammatically incorrect. The correct expression is "very few people" when referring to a small number of individuals. "Few" is used for countable objects, while "little" is used for uncountable quantities. In this case, "people" is countable, so "few" is the appropriate choice.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Very few people seem to realise the value of savings.
