Solution

The correct option is B

Larynx


Larynx or voice box, located in the throat of human body, is responsible for the production of sound. Since sound can only be produced due to vibration, larynx is provided with two vocal cords which are separated by a narrow slit for the passage of air. As air from lungs passes through the slit, these vocal cords vibrate to produce sound.
