A. a
B. an
C. the
D. no article
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A demonstration is an act of showing by giving proof or an evidence."An" is used before "evidence" because "evidence" starts with a vowel sound, and the indefinite article "an" is used to make the sentence flow smoothly before vowel sounds.
Option A: a is incorrect because "a" is used before words starting with consonant sounds, but "evidence" starts with a vowel sound.
Option C: the is incorrect because "evidence" is being introduced for the first time, so we need the indefinite article "an" rather than the definite article "the".
Option D: no article is incorrect because "evidence" is a countable noun in this context, so it needs an article, and "an" is appropriate here.
Conclusion: The correct answer is Option B: an, as it correctly follows the rule of using "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound.
