C.

Answer
D.
a, no article, no article

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Low season is an uncountable thing as low season or high season does not specify anything. It cannot be measured. So we don't require any article here. Therefore, 'no article' comes before 'low season'.
Most is used to indicate a superlative form of word and it also does not specify anything remaining an uncountable word. So we don't require any articles here also. Therefore 'no article' comes before 'most'.
The word 'hotels' is used to refer to a particular place. So we'll use an article before 'hotels'. Here 'hotels' are referred specifically and thus we use a definite article which is 'the'. Therefore, 'the' comes before 'hotels'.
