Should be A.
Fewer is the correct comparison.
Also, Had (in C,D and E) should only be used when there are multiple tenses and you are stressing that an event occured before another one in the past.

That's not entirely true. The "had" used in this sentence is not part of a past participle, but rather of simple past word for possession.
The tense is still iffy in the sentence's chronology, but don't confuse the two following examples:
I had lunch.
I had eaten lunch, when I became sick.
