Correct Option: C  [ No article needed ] Stored explanation

Explanation:
Idea: In "He sent _______ word that he would come soon," the phrase is an idiom: "send word" meaning to inform someone. Correct answer: No article needed Rule: Use zero article with certain verbs in fixed expressions (send word, give notice, make way) where the noun is singular but the phrase is idiomatic. Why others are wrong: - A/an: would imply a specific, countable word; not used in this idiom. - the: would refer to a specific word already known, which isn’t the case here.
