Solution

The correct option is A The
  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.

The reader is familiar with both the characters,The Queen and The Pope and they are unique that is there's only one. Hence Options C is incorrect. In grammar 'An' can't be used with a word having a consonant sound. Thus Option B is incorrect. 'Option D is incorrect as 'Their' is a determiner which is the possessive form of 'They'. Hence option A is correct.
