The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where the glottis is located. The options provided are the floor of the mouth, trachea, pharynx, or diaphragm. 2. **Identifying the Glottis**: The glottis is a part of the larynx, which is commonly known as the voice box. It is important to know that the larynx is involved in the passage of air and the production of sound. 3. **Locating the Glottis**: The glottis is specifically the opening located at the floor of the pharynx. It serves as a passageway for air to travel from the pharynx to the trachea. 4. **Role of the Epiglottis**: The glottis is protected by a flap-like structure called the epiglottis, which is made of cartilage. The epiglottis covers the glottis during swallowing to prevent food from entering the trachea. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information, the glottis is located in the floor of the pharynx. Therefore, the correct answer is **pharynx**. ---
