Explanation

Correct. The sentence refers to a specific ‘Board’ and so, ‘the Board’ is the correct usage. The definite article (the) is used with superlatives and so, the correct expression is – ‘the safest solution’. Since a specific ‘issue’ is being referred to, the correct usage is – ‘the burning issue’. Thus, the correct answer is – ‘The Board met to discuss the safest solution to resolve the burning issue at hand’.
