I don't think much of sth. means that you don't consider it as sth. valuable. It doesn't mean that you think a lot about it.

Only answer D makes sense in relation to the rest of the sentence, even though all 4 answers are grammatically possible. 'He' did something bad to his family, therefore the answer should reflect the speaker's dislike of him.

(To whomever it may interest: one strategy is to leave typos in thread posts and titles. Search engines are more likely to hit on your site if you have a range of spellings-- 'grammar', 'grammer', 'gramer', etc.)
