Answer 1

Answer: (B)

An/A' is used as an indefinite article for a thing/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. They're used with singular countable noun.

'The' is used as a definite article for a thing/person when the reader knows which one we are exactly referring to. It states the specific nature of the subject.
