Correct Answer: an


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The use of "an" is appropriate here because it precedes the noun "apple", and the choice follows the rule of using "an" before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since "apple" starts with a vowel sound, "an" is the correct indefinite article in this context.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He peeled an apple and cut it into slices."
