Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 1) i.e. A.

clipboard Explanation:

Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.
Whereas the article 'a' is used with the name of things that are not specific.
The article 'an' is used with the words having 1st letter as a vowel and having the sound of a vowel.
Any abbreviation having the sound of a vowel will be preceded by the article 'an'.
For example:
- He is a MLA.
- He is an MLA.
According to the rule and the example given above, 'an' will be used instead of 'a' in the 1st part of the sentence.

Correct Sentence: Karun has an X-ray machine which is very significant for him due to many reasons.

If a word starts with a vowel but has the sound of a consonant, it will be preceded by the article 'a'.
Example: a university, a union, a one rupee note, etc.
