D/v/

Answer:

B. /h/

Read Explanation:

  • In the production of the sound /h/, the vocal cords (vocal folds) are the active articulator.

  • The sound is made at the glottis (the space between the vocal cords).

  • The vocal cords create the constriction and control the flow of air through the glottis to produce /h/.
