There was an interesting article in the newspaper about the dangers to an environment.

Correct option is A

Option (a) “to an environment” contains a grammatical error.
Explanation:

· The correct usage is “the environment.”
Grammatical Rule Used:
Article Use with Uncountable Nouns and Unique Concepts:
· "Environment" is an uncountable noun when referring to the general or natural world.

Correct Sentence:
"There was an interesting article in the newspaper about the dangers to the environment."
Example: We should all take steps to protect the environment, not just our surroundings.
