Solution

The correct option is A Perilymph
The inner ear has two parts: the bony labyrinth and the membranous labyrinth. The membranous labyrinth is contained within the bony labyrinth and contains a fluid called as endolymph. Between the outer wall of the membranous labyrinth and the wall of the bony labyrinth is the perilymphatic space, which contains the perilymph.
