Answer 1

Hint: The voice of humans is different in different people and it varies from person to person. The male voice is different than the female voice. This change is due to the difference in the voice pitches.

Complete Answer:
- To answer this question, we should know about human voice. The voice of humans has different components and pitch is the integral part of the voice of humans. The pitch of the voice is the rate of vibration of the vocal folds.
- Due to the rate of vibrations, the sound of the voices changes and varies. As the number of vibrations per second increases, the pitch of the voice also increases that means the voice is sound higher.
- Faster rates responsible for higher voice while slower rate responsible for deeper voices or lower pitches. The vibrations and the speed at which they vibrate are dependent on the length and thickness of vocal cords. Women have higher pitches than men as they have shorter vocal cords.

Thus, the correct option is ‘A’. High pitched, low pitched.

Additional information: The larynx is also termed as our voice box and it gets bigger during puberty. The larynx is found in the throat, it is a tube shaped cartilage piece. This part of the neck helps us to talk, yell, sing, laugh, etc. When boys and girls reach puberty, the body releases many different hormones like testosterone. The testosterone is a hormone that is produced by male body during male puberty, the testosterone causes the larynx to grow and the vocal cords to get thicker and longer.

Note: Before puberty the larynx is small and thin after puberty the body adjusts to the change in the size of the larynx because of which the voice may break or crack. These changes get adjusted and the larynx is finishing growing.
