ALarynx

BGlottis

CPharynx

DAlveolus

Answer:

B. Glottis

Read Explanation:

  • The glottis is the opening between the vocal cords within the larynx. It plays a crucial role in the production of sound:

    • When the vocal cords are open, air passes freely through the glottis—this helps produce voiceless sounds.

    • When the vocal cords are close together and vibrating, the glottis narrows or shuts—this is how voiced sounds are made.
