A is correct.

Most here means 'the majority of', so you mustn't repeat of.

NOT A TEACHER


(1) The naming of nationalities can be very confusing and complicated.

(2) Personally speaking, I feel that "Thai people" sounds awkward (not

smooth).

I prefer:

Most Thais eat rice every day.
Most Americans speak only one language.
Most Chinese are proud of their country's economic development.

(3) If you wished to point out a certain part, then you would use "of the":

Most of the Thais I know are very courteous.
Most of the Americans I know love apple pie.
Most of the Chinese who study in American universities are top students.
