Solution

The correct option is C Elastin fibres
The intermediate layer of the lamina propria is primarily made up of elastic fibres while the deep layer of the lamina propria is primarily made up of collagenous fibres. These fibres run roughly parallel to the vocal fold edge and these two layers of the lamina propria comprise the vocal ligament.
