Solution

The correct option is D Voicebox
The larynx (voice box) is a cartilaginous structure that connects the pharynx to the trachea. The structure of the larynx is formed by several pieces of cartilage. Three large cartilage pieces—the thyroid cartilage (anterior), epiglottis (superior), and cricoid cartilage (inferior)—form the major structure of the larynx.
