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 A is correct as 'The' is used as a definite article for a particular noun, Army in the second blank and for the first blank 'A' is used as an indefinite article for any random person when the reader doesn't know which one we are referring to out of many nouns. Option B is incorrect as the second blank requires an article to carry out the meaning of the sentence. Option C is incorrect as 'An army' implies to any random group. Option D is incorrect as the blanks require articles in order to give meaning to the sentence.
