The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Organ**: The organ responsible for sound production in humans is the larynx, commonly known as the voice box. 2. **Structure of the Larynx**: The larynx contains two thin structures called vocal cords (or vocal folds). These cords are crucial for sound production. 3. **Mechanism of Sound Production**: - When we breathe out, air from the lungs passes through the trachea and enters the larynx. - The air then flows between the vocal cords. - As the air passes through, it causes the vocal cords to vibrate. 4. **Vibration and Sound**: The vibration of the vocal cords produces sound waves. The pitch and volume of the sound can be altered by changing the tension and length of the vocal cords. 5. **Conclusion**: The larynx, or voice box, plays a vital role in the process of sound production in humans by utilizing the vibration of the vocal cords when air is passed through them.
