- C.

Correct Answer
A. A

Explanation
The correct answer is "a". In this sentence, "Web master" is a singular noun that starts with a consonant sound, so it requires the indefinite article "a" before it. The indefinite article "an" is used before words that start with vowel sounds. "The" is used before specific nouns that have already been mentioned or are known to both the speaker and the listener. "Nothing" is not a suitable article in this context.
