Answer 1

The correct option is A Men have a deeper voice than women.

Vocal cords are the primary organ in human beings needed for the generation of speech. When the air from the lungs is passed through narrow vocal cords, they vibrate thus leading to the production of sound. Generally, men have longer and thicker vocal cords than women. This makes men's voice deeper or heavier than women's. Women have a softer or shriller voice than men.
