Correct Answer

(B) a, the, the

Explanation

Solution: We are referring to a small supermarket in general. So, we need to use an indefinite article here. Since 'small' begins with a consonant sound, we should use 'a'. 'The' is used before specific or unique places/things. Here, 'end' is specific because there is only one end and 'street' is the specific one on which the speaker lives.
