Answer:

A. a

Read Explanation:

  • Articles ചേർക്കുമ്പോൾ വാക്കുകളുടെ തുടക്കത്തിലുള്ള അക്ഷരങ്ങൾക് പ്രാധാന്യം കൊടുക്കരുത്. പകരം ഉച്ചരിക്കുമ്പോൾ തുടക്കത്തിൽ സ്വരാക്ഷരം/ Vowel sound വന്നാൽ "an" ഉം , വ്യഞ്ജനാക്ഷരം/ consonant sound വന്നാൽ "a" ഉം ഉപയോഗിക്കുക.

  • The sound of the first letter matters, not the first letter.

  • The correct form is 'a year'. This is because the sound represented by the letter 'y' is a consonant

  • “A” is used before a singular countable noun when it is mentioned for the first time and is not specific.

  • “Year” begins with a consonant sound (/y/), so “a” is correct.

  • “An” is used before vowel sounds → not correct here.

  • “The” is used for something specific or already known → not suitable.

  • “That” is a demonstrative pronoun/adjective, not used like this.

✔️ Hence, “a” is the correct answer.
