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