Answer:

a.scat singing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although few people know what it is, you have probably heard a scat singing. It is a feature, widely used by jazz singers, which consists of improvising syllables and meaningless words in the middle of the music to create a sound similar to that of an instrumental solo.
