The correct answer is: D. no article
The answer is no article because “Mars” is a proper noun, which is a noun that refers to a specific person, place, or thing. Proper nouns are always capitalized and do not take an article.
The other options are incorrect because they are all articles. An article is a word that comes before a noun to indicate whether the noun is specific or general. The articles “a” and “an” are used before singular nouns that refer to something general or indefinite. The article “the” is used before singular nouns that refer to something specific or definite.
In the sentence “Indians sent a space craft to the Mars,” the noun “Mars” is a specific place, so it does not take an article.
