a) A roof of a car is made of many different materials

b) The roof of a car is made of many different materials

2)
a) The branch of a tree will make decent firewood
b) A branch of a tree will make decent firewood


If we're talking about ageneral reference, not a spefic one, what's the correct ones ? a or b or both? if so what's the difference? What comes into play? Any extra comments would be appreciated.
