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 incorrect as 'An' can't be used with a word starting with a consonant. Option B is incorrect as the blank in the sentence requires a definite article with the superlative form of an adjective. Option C is correct as it uses a definite article.
