Identify the word for which labio-dental is used.
Answer: D
The labio-dental sound is /f/, which is made by the lower lip and the upper teeth, and it occurs in 'fine'. The word 'spare' has /s p/, 'man' has /m/ which is bilabial and 'bed' has /b/ which is also bilabial, so they do not have a labio-dental sound. In the labio-dental sound /f/ the lower lip touches the upper teeth. The word 'bed' starts with the bilabial /b/, 'man' with the bilabial nasal /m/, and 'spare' with the alveolar /s/, which makes 'fine' the only word in the list with a labio-dental consonant.
