Solution

The correct option is B the / no article
An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.
The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. A is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.
A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.
'The' is the only definite article.
The first blank shall take 'the' because the name of a particular country's capital is being asked about. The second blank won't take any article as Switzerland is the name of a country.
What is the capital of Switzerland?
The correct answer is option B) the/no article.
