Solution

The correct option is B Vocal folds
The arytenoid cartilages are paired structures, they look like small three-sided pyramids and form a part of the larynx. The vocal folds (vocal cords) are attached to these cartilages. They influence the position and tension of the vocal folds hence allow and aid in the movement of the vocal cords. These cartilages are not connected to the sternum, pectoral girdle nor the mandible.
So, the correct answer is option B.
