Agreed. However, consider the options here.

'The' or 'Two' will make it too specific. As wrote before, it is uncountable.
So, there are only two options left, 'A' or 'An'.
As the word has a sound of vowel, 'An' will be used.
Hence, it's option B., 'An'.


Just for your information,

It is not compulsary 'a/an' will never be used before uncountable noun.

Ex:The sand was bright pink, not a sand I'm familiar with.
Here sand is uncountable, but still 'a' is used.
