Answer 1

The correct option is A

At the entrance of the trachea, there is a voice box also called the larynx. The larynx contains two ligamentous folds called vocal cords. The vocal cords vibrate when the air is expelled forcibly through them. The muscular flap that guards the windpipe is called the epiglottis.
