demasiada ( incorrect answer). The correct answer is demasiadas
Miguel has one girlfriend and you have too many.
Una novia is singular so why is my answer demasiada wrong.

demasiada vs demasiadas agreeing in gender and number
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using demasiado, bastante, suficiente, poco, tanto and mucho to express quantity in Spanish (quantitative pronouns)"

Hola Annie
It's true that the noun in the first sentence is "novia", singular, because we are saying that Miguel has one girlfriend, but the second sentence is now using the plural to refer to this same word, as you see in the English "you have too many". In this case we need to express it in the plural as in saying "you have too many [girlfriends]": "tú tienes demasiadas [novias]"
I hope it clarifies it.
Saludos
Inma
