Solution

The correct option is C

Saccule, utricle, vestibular nerve, cerebellum


The inner ear contains 2 main structures the cochlea, which is involved in hearing, and the vestibular system that consists of the 3 semicircular canals, saccule and utricle, which are responsible for maintaining balance. The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It is a very important part of the brain. It controls balance, movement, and coordination. So the parts involved in maintaining the equilibrium of the body are saccule, utricle, vestibular nerve, cerebellum.
