Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> Incorrect matching of countable/uncountable adjectives with nouns.

Option 2 -> Places uncountable adjectives with countable nouns and vice versa.

Option 3 -> Correctly matches: (A) "the few" opportunities (definite countable), (B) "a few" friends (indefinite countable), (C) "a little" water (indefinite uncountable), (D) "the little" knowledge (definite uncountable).

Option 4 -> Repeats (II) for both (A) and (D), which is grammatically impossible.

Hence, Option 3 -> "The few" and "a few" are used with countable nouns (opportunities, friends), while "a little" and "the little" are used with uncountable nouns (water, knowledge). The article "the" indicates specific/definite reference, while "a" indicates indefinite/some quantity. -> correct
