The option with the least acceleration is c. An empty shopping cart pushed with a light force.

Acceleration depends on the force applied and the mass of the object being pushed. An empty shopping cart has a lower mass than a full shopping cart, and a light force will result in a smaller acceleration than a hard force. Therefore, an empty shopping cart pushed with a light force will have the least acceleration.
