The difference is in their chemical structure. Simple carbohydrates have a simpler molecular form, and as such are super easy to digest and fairly quick form of energy. Sucrose and Fructose are examples of such simple carbohydrates
 
Complex Carbohydrates, form a larger chain, and come packed with fiber. They have more advanced components that offer better health benefits (fiber) and are digested for more energy. Additionally Complex carbs are used by organisms to store large amounts of backup energy. Examples of such things include Starch (plants) and Glycogen (animals and Humans).

Complex carbohydrates provide energy for a longer amount of time.

Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.
