The vocal cords are located in the:

Larynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Pharynx

The correct answer is: Larynx

The vocal cords are located in the larynx, which is also known as the voice box. The larynx is a tube-shaped organ located in the neck, between the base of the tongue and the top of the trachea. Option B, Nasopharynx, is incorrect because it is a part of the nasal cavity, not the throat. Option C, Oropharynx, is incorrect because it is the part of the throat behind the mouth, containing the tonsils and the base of the tongue. Option D, Pharynx, is incorrect because it is the collective term for the three parts of the throat (nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx), and does not specify the location of the vocal cords.
