D Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. As a general rule, the article is omitted before abstract nouns used in a general sense. In the given sentence, the word ‘life’ is an abstract noun. So, no article is required. Though the word ‘unique’ begins with a vowel (u), the first sound of the word is that of a consonant (yu sound). Thus, ‘a unique couple’ is appropriate.The correct answer is – ‘He shared his profound understanding of life with her. Together, they made a unique couple.’
