Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The statement is talking about a particular night that was sharp and frosty, and thus the definite article "the" will be used.
Here we are talking about ‘foot’ and ‘head’ in general, to form a metaphor, and indicate the intensity of the situation, thus no articles will be used before them.
