He is __________ European.
Answer: B
The article is a: He is a European.
European begins with a vowel letter but with the consonant sound /j/ ("yoo-"), so it takes a, just as we say a university, a uniform and a one-rupee coin.
An is the trap: it goes before vowel sounds, not vowel letters. The is not used to say what nationality a person is, and the sentence needs an article, so "None of these" is wrong.
The rule to carry forward: listen to the word. An goes before a vowel sound (an egg, an MLA), a before a consonant sound, whatever the spelling.
