Answer: Trachea

Step-by-step explanation:

The Eustachian tube is also known as auditory tube which connects the nasopharynx to the middle ear. It is a part of middle ear.

The fauces is a part of the oropharynx which directly opens in the oral cavity as a sub division. It is superiorly bounded to the soft palate.

Esophagus is a muscular tube which is a connecting link in between pharynx and stomach.

Hence, trachea is not an opening found in the pharynx.
