(b) In the emboldened phrase, the countable noun 'books' is preceded by the quantifier 'much', which should be used only for uncountable nouns. Thus, 'much' should be replaced with 'many' [used for countable nouns]. The only option with this correction is option (b) and thus all other options are eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
