Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The letter "B" is a consonant because it is a speech sound that is produced by completely or partially blocking the airflow coming from the vocal cords.

In the case of the letter "T," it is produced by briefly stopping the airflow with the tongue against the roof of the mouth. Consonants are contrasted with vowels, which are produced with an open vocal tract and no obstruction of airflow. Therefore, "T" meets the criteria for being classified as a consonant.Rate this question:
