Uso de artigos a/the.
'Posted a statement' é uma declaração indefinida, então usa-se 'a'. 'The 1985 track' é uma faixa específica já mencionada. 'On the latest season' leva 'the' por causa do superlativo. 'Listens to the track' remete à faixa já citada. Sequência: a - the - the - the.
Análise das alternativas
B, C e D) Usam 'a' ou 'the' em posições em que o contexto exige o outro: o superlativo 'latest' e a referência a algo já mencionado pedem 'the'.
Referência: Artigos definidos e indefinidos em inglês.
