Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

See attached links for rules on partitive and indefinite articles with “negative” sentences

 Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)  

Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)
