Solution

The correct answer is c) a few.

This is because "cushions" is a countable noun, and we use "a few" with countable nouns when we want to talk about a small number of something.

The options "a little" and "little" are used with uncountable nouns, and "few" is used with countable nouns but it implies a smaller number than "a few" and often has a negative connotation, suggesting that there is not enough of something.
