The best choice is "least"
Using the appropriate adjective will properly convey the sentence's meaning. "Less," 11edf3da_324d_4c8a_8ae8_fb7be168752d_PQ032_11 "smaller," and "smallest" 11edf3da_324d_739b_8ae8_852d415dbd0d_PQ032_11 do not fit within the context of the sentence. The superlative adjective â€ 11edf3da_324d_739c_8ae8_89a1dccba11b_PQ032_11 œleast,â€ which means smallest in amount, does fit within the context of the sentence.
