Solution
The correct option is B Trachea
Larynx (voice box) is located between the pharynx and the trachea. It is the upper modified part of trachea and leads to trachea or windpipe. It has a framework of cartilage that protrudes in the front of the neck and sometimes is referred as the Adams apple. The larynx is considerably larger in males than in females; hence, the Adams apple is much more prominent in males. At the upper end of the larynx, vocal cords are present which help in production of speech. They are set into vibration by the flow of air from the lungs. A difference in the size of the larynx is what accounts for the difference between male and female voices; because male larynx is larger than a female larynx, usually male voice is lower in pitch. The nasal cavities, the sinuses, and the pharynx all serve as resonating chambers for speech, just as the cabinet does for a stereo speaker.
