E Correct answer
Explanation

Correct. . Since the sentence is referring to a specific ‘experience’, the definite article (the) is used. Since ‘self-discovery’ begins with a consonant sound, the article used is ‘a’ (a self-discovery). There is no requirement of an article before the word ‘life’ since it is an abstract noun being used in a general sense. Thus, the correct answer is – ‘The experience set her off on a self-discovery that changed her perspective towards life completely’.
