Question

Which part of pharynx functions only in respiration?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Correct option is C, Nasopharynx. In Digestive System, the accurate description is Nasopharynx, and that is what you should commit to memory. Keep the definition tight and the role clear — the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Nasopharynx does in Digestive System. Then Nasopharynx is the answer you can defend. Check yourself by covering the options and writing the answer first, then matching the letter — that builds confidence. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Nasopharynx. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
