Default little chat ?

Please see the below dialogue.

Choose the best answer for the blank.
A: Do you enjoy informal _________ at parties?
B: Sometimes I do.

(A) small talk
(B) little chat
(C) small shot
(D) few talk

I don't see much difference between (A) and (B).
Is there difference?

Thank you.

Try looking at it this way,

Ex: I'd like to have a little chat with you. (singular)
Ex: We've had a few little chats about it. (plural)

Now (B). It should be,

(B) Do you enjoy informal chats at parties? (plural)

All the best.
