He can play __________ flute.
Answer: C
The answer is the: He can play the flute.
When we speak of playing a musical instrument, the instrument takes the definite article: play the flute, play the guitar, play the piano. The noun refers to the instrument as a type, not to one particular flute.
A flute is used when a single object is meant (he bought a flute), not the skill of playing. An cannot stand before the consonant sound of flute. Leaving out the article is the pattern for games and sports (play cricket), not for instruments.
