Natural
"Stains or burn marks on carpets will result in a fine" (any carpet that might be in in the house) - ok
"I saw no stains or burn marks on the carpet" (on the particular carpet that I looked at) - ok
"Burns" are usually "in" the carpet, not "on" the carpet
"Burn marks" are "in" or "on" - both ok
SO
"Stains or burns on the carpet" is not 100% right. (Mostly right though).

Yes, I'd go with your first one.
"The" is not required.
