Resolução comentada
Quantificadores many/much/some.
'Opinions' é contável, então se usa 'many'; 'water' é incontável, logo 'how much water'. 'Some health gurus' é o quantificador adequado para a ideia de que alguns acreditam. Em 'Many factors' o substantivo é contável.
Análise das alternativas
B) 'little' não combina com 'health gurus' (contável) e 'Much factors' é incorreto. C) 'much different opinions' e 'how many water' estão invertidos. D) repete os erros de 'much' com contáveis. E) 'a lot of' não fecha com 'how ... water' e 'none health gurus' é incorreto.
