Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. an.

  • The indefinite article "an" is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.
  • In this case, the word "apple" begins with a vowel sound, so the appropriate indefinite article to use is "an."
  • The use of "an" before "apple" ensures correct grammar and readability in the sentence.
