Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -P and b are two distinctive sounds within the English sound system and are referred to as phonemes. Phonemes then are defined as the smallest distinctive or contrastive units of the sound system of a language. By calling a sound distinctive, we refer to its capability of changing the meaning of a word.

Detailed explanation-2: -If two sounds CONTRAST in a particular language (e.g. [t] and [d] in English)… (a) Te sounds are separate phonemes in that language. Example: /t/ and /d/ are separate phonemes of English.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phonemes /f/ and /th/ are both voiceless fricatives, and both are produced in the front of the mouth. The phonemes differ only in their specific place of articulation: /f/ is produced with the teeth on the lower lip, while /th/ is produced with the tongue between the teeth.

Detailed explanation-4: -In English, the digraph ⟨th⟩ represents in most cases one of two different phonemes: the voiced dental fricative /ð/ (as in this) and the voiceless dental fricative // (thing).
