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 correct as 'The' is used with words with superlatives. It shows the uniqueness of the path. Option B is incorrect because 'An' is used with a word having a vowel sound for a single countable noun which is random in nature. Option A is incorrect as 'A best way' sounds illogical. 'One of the best ways' or 'the best way' is grammatically correct.Moreover it doesn't go with the meaning of the sentence. Option D is incorrect as an article is required in the blank to give meaning to the sentence.
