Solution

The correct option is B deep and shrill
During puberty, the larynx, which is also known as the voice box, enlarges. In boys, due to a hormone called testosterone, the vocal cords become thick, leading to the development of deep and hoarse voice. However, in girls, the larynx does not enlarge as much as boys and thus they develop a high pitched shrill voice.
