Solution

The correct option is C Cochlea
Hair cells (sense cells) are the sound receptors of the auditory system. In mammals, the auditory hair cells are located within the organ of Corti on a thin basilar membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear. Cochlea produces nerve impulse in response to the sound vibration.
