B....

According wikipedia:

A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract. The terms plosive and stop are usually used interchangeably, but they are not perfect synonyms. Plosives are stops with a pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism. The term is also used to describe oral (non-nasal) stops. Many use the term nasal continuant rather than nasal stop to refer to sounds like [n] and [m]. One should be aware that this article treats these "nasal continuants" as nasal stops.


S, I think it could be option B.

I just thought we would have fun with this one...

The answer is B:

When classifying consonants according to the manner of articulation, the terms plosive, fricative, affricative, nasal, lateral, glide and semivowel is used. Plosives are produced by stopping and then suddenly releasing the stream of breath. The plosive sounds are p, b, t, k (e.g., kitten), and g. Fricatives are produced by a partial closure of the articulators, which results the creation of a restricted passage of the breath stream. The fricative sounds of speech are f, v, voiced and unvoiced th, s, z, zh, and h. Nasal sounds are those that are emitted through the nose rather than the mouth. The nasal sounds in American speech are, m and ng. Affricatives are blends of two sounds, one of which is a fricative and the other a plosive. The affricatives are ch and dzh. Lateral speech is produced by having air emitted at both sides of the tongue or if the tip of the tongue is in contact with the gum ridge. The only lateral sound in American speech is the œe sound. Glide consonants are characterized by continuous movement of the articulators while a sound is being made. The glide consonants include w, y as in yellow and r and in red. A semivowel is related to glide in that there is movement involved in its consonant function. The semivowels are w, r, y as in yellow, and e.
