An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. It states the random nature of the subject.
'The' is used as a definite article for a thing or person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
Option C is incorrect grammatically as the blank requires a word for giving meaning to the sentence. Option B is incorrect as 'An' cannot be used with a word having a consonant sound. In Option D 'The' is used as the definite article with a particular noun, but this sentence talks about Banaras as a city out of many holy cities. Option A is correct as 'A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing or person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns.
