In English, articles are used to indicate the noun's specificity or indefiniteness. The definite article "the" is used when referring to a particular or specific noun, while the indefinite articles "a" and "an" are used to refer to a general or unspecified noun.
In the given sentence, the speaker is not referring to a specific amount of sugar but rather indicating a general habit of always adding sugar to their tea. Therefore, none of the articles "the," "a," or "an" should be used.
So, the sentence should be written as "I always take sugar in my tea."

D. None of the above
Explanation:
Taking sugar in tea is a personal preference, and it varies from person to person. Some people prefer to have their tea without sugar, while others may prefer to have it with a certain amount of sugar. The statement in the question suggests that the person does not have a fixed amount of sugar that they always take in their tea. Therefore, the correct answer is "none of the above" because none of the options given (a, b, or c) accurately represents the person's preference for sugar in their tea.
Let's break down the given answer options and explain why each of them is not correct:
a. The option "the" is not a suitable answer because it does not specify any quantity of sugar. It suggests that the person always takes a certain amount of sugar, but it does not provide any information about the quantity.
b. The option "a" is also not a suitable answer because it implies that the person always takes a single unit of sugar in their tea. However, the statement in the question does not indicate a fixed amount.
c. The option "and" is not a suitable answer either because it suggests that the person takes multiple units of sugar in their tea. Again, the statement in the question does not provide any information about the quantity.
Therefore, the correct answer is "none of the above" as it accurately represents the person's preference for sugar in their tea, which is not specified in the question.
