Males have an Adam’s apple because the vocal cords are
A
larger
B
wider
C
smaller
D
twisted
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although both males and females develop Adam’s apples, they tend to be more prominent in males. This is because the male larynx generally grows bigger and faster during puberty. A larger larynx explains why males tend to have deeper and louder voices than females.

Detailed explanation-2: -Men develop a larger voice box than women during puberty. So a larger Adam’s apple may be linked to having a deep voice. In general, excessive hormones, mainly testosterone, produced at puberty decide the size of your Adam’s apple.

Detailed explanation-3: -All humans and many animals have an Adam’s apple. It is a thickening of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx – the voice box. It’s just that they are more noticeable in men than in women. That’s partly because men’s necks have more bones than women’s.
