Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The cartilaginous and leaf-shaped epiglottis lies within and is attached to the thyroid cartilage by a flexible joint.

Just below the thyroid cartilage is the cricoid cartilage, which is the only laryngeal structure that forms a complete ring of cartilage around the airway and is the narrowest region of the upper airway in infants.
