Explanation
The correct answer is (b) an, the.
The selection of articles depends on the phonetic sound of the word that follows them and the specificity of the noun being referenced.
We can analyze the usage with the following logical equations:
M.A. (pronounced "em-ay")→starts with a vowel sound→requires article ’an’
University (specific/defined noun context)→requires definite article ’the’
By applying these rules, the sentence becomes: "He is an M.A. with PhD and teaches in the University."
