The correct answer is speech impairment.

Speech impairment refers to a condition in which an individual is unable to communicate clearly and be coherently understood by others due to difficulties in their speech and articulation. Individuals with speech impairments might be unable to pronounce words correctly, produce speech sounds and speak with abnormal duration, pitch or vocal quality.
