Answer
C.
the
D.

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Here, the sentence talks about the 'umpire' as general class of people like 'Mr. Sharma'. Since we are referring to general things, we need to use the indefinite article 'a/an'. The word 'umpire' starts with vowel sound and therefore article 'an' will be used.
