Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Choanae is another term for the internal nares, which connect the nasal cavity to the pharynx. The glottis is the opening between the vocal cords in the larynx, the pharynx is the muscular tube that connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and esophagus, and the epiglottis is a flap of tissue that covers the glottis during swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the trachea.
