Suppose an individual speaker consistently used VOT to distinguish between two phoneme categories (in her production of voiced vs. voiceless sounds) but was not consistent in cuing by means of the pitch at the beginning of the vowel that follows these sounds. What acoustic cue(s) will this individual then use to categorize voicing distinctions in speech sounds that she passively hears others produce?
A) Pitch
B) VOT
C) Both VOT and pitch
