A Correct answer
Explanation

When introducing someone for the first time or describing them in general terms, 'a' is appropriate before an adjective+noun phrase. 'Tagore was a great poet' introduces him as one among many great poets. Using 'the' would imply he was the only great poet, which isn't the intended meaning.
