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 because both the blanks don't require articles to provide meaning to the sentence. Option B is incorrect as 'A' is used for words with random nature. A love and war doesn't provide the correct sense. Option A is incorrect as 'The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of. The war doesn't fit here logically. It refers to a particular war. Option D is incorrect as 'The' refers to a particular subject & shows the uniqueness of the subjects of which the readers are aware of.
