Which of the following categories do the sounds /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, and /g/ belong to?

Explanation

The sounds /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, and /g/ are classified as plosives, which are consonants produced by completely blocking and then releasing airflow. Affricates combine a stop and a fricative, fricatives involve continuous airflow through a narrow constriction, and trills are produced by rapid vibrations of an articulator.
