Explanation: The voiced sounds in English are l,b,d,g,v,z,m,n,r,w,j, that is, the vocal cords must be used in order to produce the sound made by these letters. All vocoids and semi-vowels are voiced sounds. The letter c’s sound on the other hand, can be made without using one’s voice. Hence, c is a voiceless sound component.
