Hint:-Articles are utilized before nouns to demonstrate whether the thing is definite or general.
'a', 'an' and 'the' are the articles in English grammar where "a" and "an" are indefinite and "the" is definite.
-Articles are very important to frame a grammatically perfect sentence.

Complete answer:
The article 'an' will be indefinite. It doesn't highlight a specific thing.
The decision between the two indefinite articles – an and an – is dictated by sound. Words starting with consonant sounds go before 'a' and words starting with vowel sounds go before 'an'. There are some uncommon cases too.
So the sentence "That man carried an umbrella with him yesterday" has used the article "an" before the word umbrella which is correct as umbrella has a vowel sound.
 A or an - makes a Proper Noun a Common Noun. Formal people, places, or things, by and large, don't take any articles, yet when a formal person, place, or thing should be utilized as a typical thing, you should bring an or an - for it.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A - true.

Note: A common noun in a particular number consistently requires an article before it. Be that as it may, a plural common noun doesn't need an article consistently. A plural common noun can have the article 'the' on the off chance that we need to particularize that thing.
Example-
I saw a giraffe. (Alludes to an arbitrary giraffe
I saw giraffes in a zoo. (No article is required)
I have seen the giraffe once more. (Alludes to the giraffe I have just observed before)
