Answer 1

Answer:

D. a nasal

The /m/ in the word "meaning" is a nasal sound.

This is because /m/ is a bilabial nasal sound, where the lips come together to produce the sound while air is directed through the nose. Nasal sounds like /m/ are produced by allowing air to escape through the nose instead of the mouth.
