The or 0

What is the first month of …… spring? Is it March or May? (The- 0 )

The worksheet answer is (the). My answer is (0).

In this website (https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/artikel.htm ), the rule is (We use the seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter) with or without the definite article. )

What do you think?

The usage of 'the' with the seasons is optional.

- We get a good crop of apples in (the) autumn. (Longman English Grammar L G. Alexander)

'The' is more likely used when we mean a particular summer, winter, etc.

- I suffered a lot in the summer of that year.
