Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word.
The 'U' in university has a consonant sound of 'yoo' or 'you'. So despite the fact that the word 'university' starts with a vowel, because of its consonant sound we use 'a' instead of 'an'.
