Why?

B is correct.

tamguatlayWhy?

When we (say) have two chairs, while we are working on one, we may want to have the other to complete a thing/process. This way, "other chair" cannot be wrong to me

It is. The correct answer is b. The "other chair" wording stands out as something typical of people who are learning English.

You can have doubts about something, but you cannot doubt about something.

"other chair" is impossible. It's either "another chair" or "the other chair" or something else with an initial determiner (my other chair, George's other chair, no other chair, etc.) because "chair" is a singular count noun.
