Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
In the FIRST blank, "no article" will be used because when we refer to general ideas, "the" is not correct. Therefore, no article will be used.
In the SECOND blank, article "a" will be used because here 'a piece of sugar' here is a common noun. Therefore, article "a" will be used.
