Option 1 -> "No" doesn't work in a question seeking information; "both" implies exactly two areas, which is too specific.
Option 2 -> While "much" can work in questions, "few" means "not many" which contradicts the context of bad flooding.
Option 3 -> "Any" is the standard determiner for questions with uncountable nouns like "news"; "some" appropriately indicates an unspecified number of plural countable nouns like "areas."
Option 4 -> "A" cannot be used with uncountable nouns like "news"; "much" cannot be used with countable plural nouns like "areas."
Hence, Option 3: any, some -> "Any" is the appropriate determiner for questions involving uncountable nouns, and "some" correctly modifies the countable plural noun "areas" to indicate an indefinite quantity affected by flooding -> correct
