The blank needs to be filled by an article. So the choice is between 'a', 'an' and 'the'.
'The' can be used if the sentence is part of a conversation or paragraph and Europeans have already been referred to. Here, it is a single sentence. No reference has been made to Europeans or Dan before this; so we cannot use 'the'.
'A' is used with consonant sounds while 'an' is used with vowel sounds. The word 'European' is confusing, because it brings with the letter 'E' but the beginning sound is not 'E'. It is the phonetic /j/ sound or 'Y' sound.
Therefore the correct answer is 'a'.
Dan is a European settled in India.
Tip: If you get confused between whether to use 'a' or 'an', write the word down in Hindi. That will clearly show you if the word begins with a vowel sound or not.
Do remember that we are not talking about the beginning letter of a word, but the sound.
