Which is the correct superlative of 'little' when meaning 'small in size'? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which is the correct superlative of 'little' when meaning 'small in size'?
A. lesser
B. littlest
C. least
D. less
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
For size, 'little - littler - littlest' (though not commonly used; 'smallest' is preferred). But the correct form listed is 'littlest'. However 'least' is superlative for amount. The question might be ambiguous. I'll change to: 'Which is the superlative of 'little' when referring to quantity?' -> least. I'll just keep it and give solution accordingly. I'll rephrase: 'Which is the superlative of 'little' meaning 'not much'?' -> least. I'll adjust.
