Answer:

The correct answer is C) Interjections or exclamations of emotions;

Step-by-step explanation:

Chant noises during battles, rhythmic work, the formation of words by imitation of animal sounds have all been given as possible explanations to how speech developed.

Interjections and exclamations of emotion have been rejected as a possible source of speech development because interjections project sounds that are not used in the production of regular speech.

Sounds that cut across as interjections are usually created with sharp breath inhalation. Speech on the other hand is produced when breath is exhaled.

Examples of interjectory sounds are:

  • Oh!
  • Aha!
  • Aww!
