Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
'Mouth' and 'mustache' both are singular countable noun. The word 'small' begins with consonant sound and therefore 'a' will be used before 'small mouth'. The word 'enormous' begins with vowel sound and therefore 'an' will be used before 'enormous mustache'.
