C: Assists in the production of bilabial consonants
D: Assists in the production of rounded vowels

involved in the production of back vowels and velar consonants in some speakers of English. This is
because the muscle is used to raise the back of the tongue. In addition, speakers of languages such as
Swedish and Hindi, bring into play the palatoglossus’s funtion of lowering the soft palate when producing
nasalized vowels. The best answer therefore is A.
