Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dysphonia is a term used to describe voice changes or difficulty speaking due to a problem with the vocal cords. It is not related to language or motor deficits, so options A and B are incorrect. Option C is also incorrect because dysphonia involves changes in voice quality, such as hoarseness or loss of volume, which is not considered as speaking clearly and normally.
