Although southern California is densely populated,_____________ live in the northern part of the state.
A) a little people
B) a few the people
c) few people
d) a little of people

I know that answer (c) is incorrect but I am confused here because people is a non count noun and i hear that few is used with count noun.
What the problem
plzzzzzz
many thanks.

Easy to explain! people is most definitely a count noun:

one person

two people


Hope that helps!
