Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!
Some of these answer choices are describing a non-specific noun called indefinite articles.

These would explain the example: I would like an apple.
The an validates the identity of the noun apple.

The words any and some explain the numerical quantity of coffee.


> What words make sense in this question? Let's fit the words in to best see what makes sense the most.

I usually have an coffee.

> This indefinite article doesn't make sense. Since 'coffee' does not start with a vowel, it is not in correct form either as an.

I usually have the coffee.

> This makes more sense but what coffee? We were never introduced THE coffee that you're talking about which makes this sentence invalid.

I usually have any coffee.

> Any is not the best word in this context; if you're trying to say whatever coffee, you would probably say 'I usually have whatever coffee I want'.

I usually have some coffee.

> This makes the most sense as it is correct gramatically and looking at it from the sentence.

Therefore, D is your correct answer.
