D Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. Since the sentence is referring to a particular ‘legendary composer’, the definite article (the) is placed before it. Since the word ‘expansion’ begins with a vowel sound (e sound), the correct expression is – ‘an expansion’. Since the sentence is not referring to a specific interview, the usage of an indefinite article is more appropriate than the definite one – ‘a recent interview’.
