Explanation / Answer
a generator of a cyclic group is simply an element of the group which has the characteristic that when you repeatedly perform the group operation you end up with the whole group, i.e., generate the whole group. For example the natural numbers can be written with the addition operation. This means that adding 1 over and over gets you the entire group. So your generator is a.
