Correct answer: A

The correct option is A: an.

Detailed Explanation
Grammatical Rule: The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound of the following word, not just the letter it starts with.

Application:

The abbreviation "R.A.S." is pronounced as "ar-ay-ess."

Since the sound at the beginning of "R" (/ɑː/) is a vowel sound, we use the article "an".
