A Correct answer
Explanation

Option 1 is correct. "A" is the correct article to be used here as the subject (hungry fox) is being introduced for the first time. 'The' can not be used here as it is used when we talk about a particular subject already introduced. 'An' is used before subjects which begin with a vowel sound so, it cannot be used here.
