a. Constriction near a point of minimum pressure raises the formant frequency.

b. Constriction near a point of maximum velocity lowers the formant frequency.

c. Constriction near a point of minimum velocity lowers the formant frequency.

d. Constriction near a point of maximum pressure lowers the formant frequency.
