Solution

The correct option is B the/the
OPTION "B" is the correct answer.
EXPLANATION:
There are two types of articles:
DEFINITE ARTICLE (THE) : Article 'the' is used to refer to a DEFINITE thing or person.
INDEFINITE ARTICLE(A/AN): Article 'a/an' is used to refer to a thing or person in general. For instance: man, door etc.
Article 'a' is used with consonant sounds whereas article 'an' is used with vowel sounds.
In the FIRST Blank, article "the" will be used because "SMITHS" is the family name of a specific group of people.
In the SECOND blank, article "the" will be used because we use a definite article before names of certain places such as 'Black Sea".
