Hint:Given sentence is negative sentence thus correct option should be used only with negative sentence. These options are used to express quantity, to say or question whether or not you have a quantity of something.

Complete answer:
‘Money’ is an uncountable noun and this sentence is negative too thus ‘any’ is the correct pronoun to use in this sentence.
I don't have ‘any’ money in my pocket.
To express quantity to to say a question whether or not you have a quantity of something , ‘few’ , ‘any’ ,’some’ are used
Lets see other options:-
All :- all means Each (of), or the maximum amount or number (of), or the whole amount or number (of) but the given sentence does not specify a specific amount of money and is an uncountable noun thus this option is wrong.
Some :- Some is used in affirmative sentences, and also when something is being asked for or offered but the given sentence is negative thus this option is wrong too.
Few :- For countable nouns, a few is used but the given sentence is an uncountable noun thus this option is wrong too.
Any :- any is used in sentences which is negative and interrogative in nature thus this option is correct.

Hence the correct answer is option D.

Note:Indefinite pronouns may be singular or plural, like collective nouns, depending on how they are used in a sentence. A singular verb is taken by singular indefinite pronouns; plural indefinite pronouns are taken by a plural verb. Here are some directions to follow:-
Indefinite pronouns that end in -one are singular at all times. Anyone, all, anyone, and one are included in these terms.
The indefinite pronouns are always plural: both, few, several, some, and many.
