'a' will be used before countable nouns (singular).

Eg: I bought a computer.
"AN " will be used before a vowel word like (optical, honest).
'THe' will be used for Pre-introduction.

Eg: I bought a computer. The computer has a keyboard.

Few= nothing, but.

A few = some, so a few is the right answer.
