Correct option is A
Option (a)
“to an environment” contains a grammatical error.
Explanation:
· The phrase
“an environment” is incorrect in this context because it refers to
environment in general, which is a specific global or collective concept.
· 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.
· Use “
the” before such
universally known or specific concepts (e.g., the sun, the internet, the earth, the environment).
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.
Information Booster:
· "An environment" is acceptable when referring to
a specific kind of setting, e.g., “a learning environment.”
· However, when discussing pollution, climate, or global issues, use
"the environment."
