Solution

The correct option is B longer and thicker
In males, the vocal cords are thicker and longer. So theyare able to produce low pitch voices (like the roar of a lion). In females, the vocal cords are thinner and shorter, which enables them to produce high pitch voices (like the buzzing of a mosquito).
