?

Many shops were set up in . . . . . . . . enclosed area.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective. The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the noun is known to the reader or the noun is specific. The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known. 'The' is used with both singular and plural noun while 'a/an' is used with singular noun.
In the sentence 'area' is general. If the word (enclosed) has vowel sound 'an' article is used.

How do we know that the area about which they're discussing is unknown to them.
From the sentence it projects and idea that they know about the area they're talking about.
So, I believe "the" should be the correct one, or its answer should be left on one's thinking like how does one takes the sentence with.
