Hint: At the age of puberty or when puberty hits changes are frequently being seen in both male and female bodies. Males show harshness or their voice became more manly rather than the baby voice. Females do not show any specifications in voice changes but other changes can be seen physically. Apart from internal changes in the body external changes also can be seen.

Complete answer-
Mostly, in male puberty attains at \[14 - 16\] age in their lifespan and in girls or female puberty shows at slightly earlier than boys or male that is $12 - 14$ age. So, Adam’s apple is a present only for boys. Adam’s apple is the bulge in the larynx or voice box which can be easily visible from the external side. When the voice changes the sound box or larynx broadens, resulting in the protrusion of Adam’s apple.
a) True- Adam’s apple is the extension of the voice box bulged out into the outside. It can be seen through naked eye. And about presenting in both male and female bodies. No, it is only present in male body. It is a part of male secondary sexual character.
Option A is not the correct answer.
b) False- Adam’s apple is present only in males. Voice box or larynx is present in both the male and female body but they do not show-case any particular changes during puberty in a girl. Hence, the option false is true.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Also, males have secondary sexual characteristics like- growth of facial hair and body hair also hair in pubic region is common in both male and female.
