Solution
The correct option is B Ear ossicles The correct answer is option b: Ear ossicles
The middle ear has the presence of a small flexible chain of three tiny bones called ear ossicles.
These three ossicles are malleus, stapes and incus. Since both the ears have 3 ossicles each, the total number of ear ossicles present in the human body will be 3+3=6 bones.
