Answer 1

Answer:

B. /p/

A voiceless bilabial plosive is /p/.

• Voiceless: The vocal cords do not vibrate during its production.

• Bilabial: It is articulated using both lips.

• Plosive: It is produced by completely blocking the airflow and then releasing it explosively.

Example words:

• Pat /pæt/

• Spin /spɪn/

• Cap /kæp/
