Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The correct option is A: A.

Detailed Explanation
Phonetic Sound: The choice between "a" and "an" is determined by the phonetic sound at the beginning of the following word. Although the word "European" begins with the vowel letter 'E', it is pronounced with a consonant sound (/j/), similar to "yoo-ropean."

Rule Application: Because "European" begins with a consonant sound, the indefinite article "a" is the grammatically correct choice.
