Solution

The correct option is B False
Middle ear plays an important role in amplifying the vibrations received on the tympanum membrane. The external ear collects the sound waves. They enter into the auditory meatus. Then they strike the tympanum. The vibrations from the tympanum reach the malleus, incus and stapes. They magnify the intensity of the sound vibrations.
