Answer:

a) tiny

Step-by-step explanation:

Minuscule means extremely small or tiny.

The speaker did not like the clam chowder that he had, it was so disgusting to him that he he found it difficult to eat any part of it. Tiny is the best synonym for minuscule in this context. The other options do not exactly fit in into the context.
