I can't find any correct answer. "C" seems reasonable but, the verb "have" muddles things up.

" I worked a great deal" is OK. "But, I have a great deal to do on monday" sounds odd. However, I'm not a native speaker.

A) a lot of/any
a lot of [something is missing here] to do
isn't idiomatic

B) a huge number/little
a huge number to do
isn't idiomatic

"But, I have a great deal to do on monday" sounds odd.
I have a great deal to do on Monday is perfect English.
It means
I have a lot to do on Monday, which is also correct.
