The correct answer is: A. no article, a, the

The article “a” is used before singular countable nouns that are not specific. In this case, the Soviet airman is not specific, because we do not know his name or which Soviet airman Sir Hubert Wilkins is searching for.

The article “the” is used before singular countable nouns that are specific. In this case, the North Pole is specific, because it is the only North Pole.

The article “the” is not used before plural countable nouns or uncountable nouns. In this case, the Soviet airman is a singular countable noun, and plane is an uncountable noun.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A. no article, a, the
