Verified by Toppr

  1. 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.
  2. '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.
