Correct answer must be 1

The move:

Move the left-bottom most pawn one step forward

Now:

  • black King can't stop there (it will be killed by the pawn which had just moved in the last move)

  • black King can't move forward (it will be killed by the queen)

  • black King can't move backwards (it will be killed by the top-right most bishop)

  • black King can't move right (it will be killed by the queen)

  • black King can't move left (it will be killed by the queen)

  • black King can't move upper-left direction ( it will be killed by queen)

  • black King can't kill that pawn (it will be killed by queen)

  • black King can't move lower-right direction (it will be killed by the knight)

  • black King can't kill upper-right direction (it will be killed by the top-left most bishop)

Hence the king is check mate in just 1 move
