Answer 1

The correct option is B $1\to b,2\to d,3\to c,4-a$

Epiglottis is present just after the nasal cavity and differentiates the food pipe and the wind pipe.
Pharynx is present in between the windpipe and the nasal cavity and commonly referred as throat.
Larynx is the voice box otherwise referred as Adam’s apple. It is made up of 2 flap like muscles and located in the front part of the neck.
After the larynx, trachea is the next part of respiratory system. It is about 4-5 inches in length and surrounded by C-shaped cartilaginous rings which help in the prevention of collapse of the tracheal structure.
