The following is a question which i met with during my study.
It is a dialogue:
W:You wouldn't be interested in working this summer to make some extra money, would you?
M: Not much i wouldn't.
What does the man mean?
A. He is interested in working this summer.
B. He doesn't need much money.
C. He'll work even though he doesn't want to.
i cannot figure which one to choose. i think none of them is acceptable according to the dialogue. Am i right? If not, what does "not much i wouldn't" mean?
Thanks

"Not much I wouldn't" means A, "Yes, I would be interested in working this summer.""
