Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Answer: The

Explanation:

Use "the" before "police" when referring to the police as a specific group or institution. "Police" here is a plural collective noun, so the definite article specifies the particular force being called.

  • Am — incorrect because it is a verb form ("to be") and cannot serve as an article.

  • An — incorrect because it is an indefinite article for singular nouns beginning with a vowel sound; it does not fit a plural collective noun like "police."

  • In — incorrect because it is a preposition, not an article; it does not provide the required determiner before "police."

  • The — correct because it identifies the specific force (the police) being called.
