Question

Which of the following is a voiceless bilabial plosive?

• A. /p/
• B. /b/
• C. /m/
• D. /w/

Answer 1

Answer:

A. /p/

A voiceless bilabial plosive is /p/.

Plosives are sounds produced by completely stopping the airflow and then releasing it. "Bilabial" means it is articulated using both lips, and "voiceless" means the vocal cords do not vibrate during its production.
