Solution

The correct option is A Hearing
The function of the organ of Corti is to transduce auditory signals and maximize the hair cells' extraction of sound energy. The hair cells located in the organ of Corti transduce mechanical sound vibrations into nerve impulses. They are stimulated, when the basilar membrane, on which the organ of Corti rests, vibrates.
