. . . . . . . . Indian army rescued . . . . . . . . affected people.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
"The Indian army" refers to a specific and known entity, so the definite article "the" is used.

"The affected people" also refers to a specific group of people who were impacted, so "the" is again appropriate.

"An" is used before singular, countable nouns that begin with a vowel sound, but here we are talking about specific known groups, not introducing something new or indefinite.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Indian army rescued the affected people."

Hence, Option D is correct.
