Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Generally, we use "the" before "cinema" because it's a specific place people go for entertainment.David is going to a specific cinema, so we use "the cinema".
However, "church" is a bit different. We often use "church" without "the" when referring to it as a place of worship or religious activity.
David's father is going to church for religious reasons, so we use "no article".
Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: the, no article.
