The correct answer is D. no article.
An heir is a person who inherits property or a title from someone who has died. In this case, Rita is the heir of her father’s property. The word “heir” is a common noun, and common nouns do not usually take articles.
The article “a” is used before singular common nouns that refer to a general or indefinite person or thing. For example, “I saw a man walking down the street.” The article “an” is used before singular common nouns that begin with a vowel sound. For example, “I saw an elephant in the zoo.”
The article “the” is used before singular common nouns that refer to a specific person or thing. For example, “I saw the man who stole my car.”
In this case, Rita is the only heir to her father’s property, so there is no need to use an article.
