would you like.......jam on your bread? a) some b)little. which one is the best answer and why?
how can we put an indefinite article to the uncountable noun? you have said that we can but a in front of little. in that way, we will use an indefinite article "a" in front of uncountable noun. right?

You can use some and a little
but "Would you like a little jam?" is better

"Both" is the better choice from those you have given. I suppose it could be somewhat correct to say "Would you like little jam?", but it is rarely or never said that way.
"Would you like *a little* jam?" (with an indefinite article) is much more common in the English-speaking world.

So the best is "Would you like *some* jam?"?
