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.
