Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. no article.
The reason is that the Secretary and Treasurer are specific people who are known to the reader. Therefore, we do not need to use an article.
If we did not know the specific people, we would use an article. For example, if we said “The Secretary and the Treasurer are absent,” this would mean that any Secretary and any Treasurer would be absent.
In this case, however, we are talking about specific people, so we do not need to use an article.
