Vowel is used before opportunity then how can we use moment?

According to me, if we are using "moment", then the sentence should be, "The end of the examinations is a moment for celebrating", but here we don't have 'a' as a option before "moment".
Am I right ?

'An' is written in brackets as before opportunity an will be used and it may be the right option for some students (d). But right option is 'a' moment and thats why an is given in brackets which means it can b changed.

It is not correct answer because an came before moment.

If moment is used then celebration should be there. Here occasion is the answer.
