Paper is an uncountable noun unless a numeral adjective is used. Here, paper, in general, is being mentioned, hence no article is required. Option D is correct here. Indefinite articles are not used for uncountable nouns, hence their usage in the given context is incorrect. 'The' is used for specific nouns, the noun being non-specific here, makes Option C incorrect.

We use the definite article 'the' when the noun is followed by a clause or phrase which identifies it. In the given sentence, the 'doctor' is identified with the clause 'who has a clinic beside my home'. Option C is correct here since we are referring to a specific doctor. Articles 'a' and 'an' are for nouns which are not specific, since the noun here is specific, these options are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because an article is required for the noun.

A
a

B

Articles are part of speech, used to indicate nouns and to specify their application. The given sentence requires an article before the musical instrument, violin.
Indefinite articles can be used to express musical instruments as one physical object. For example - I don't have a violin.
However, to express 'violin' as a category of instruments, a definite article must be used. Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
Option D is incorrect, as no article is used when we refer to general ideas, plurals or uncountable nouns.
