grammatical number - using only in plural

This is the question:




A: Does she have many books?
B: ................. She only has two books.




a. Yes, she does.
b. No, she does not.




My answer is B, am I wrong?
My friend absolutely stands to say that my answer is wrong.
He said that, two books are plural, even, there is a word "only".
So, even only two books, it is included in plural, and the answer is A.



I'm really so confused.




(sourse: Use of the singular or plural "is" or "are" in ambiguous situations)
