D. no article, a

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The first blank refers to boy, and the second to grown-ups. Since the boy is specified to the one that's shy, definite article "the" will be used in the first blank.
Grown-ups is an adjective acting as a noun here, thus no article will be used in the second blank.
