Solution

The correct option is B Tympanic membrane
Tympanic membrane is known as ear drum. It is a thin and cone shaped membrane by which external ear is separated from the middle ear. It transmits sound waves from the external ear to ear ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes) and then to oval window. It also amplifies the sound waves before sending them to oval window.
So, the correct answer is 'Tympanic membrane'.
