C Correct answer
Explanation

Men typically have longer vocal cords (about 20mm) compared to women (about 15mm). Option C correctly states that women's vocal cords are shorter (approximately 15mm or roughly 5mm shorter in some simplified models). Shorter vocal cords vibrate faster, producing higher-pitched voices, while longer cords produce lower frequencies.
