Solution

Oval window, tympanum, cochlea, auditory canal, ear ossicle (correct path through which a vibration of sound is transferred in the human ear).
Answer:
- The sound waves travel from the external ear to the inner ear through the middle ear.
- The external ear consists of the pinna and the auditory canal leading to the tympanum.
- The middle ear contains three tiny bones – malleus, incus, and stapes, collectively known as the ear ossicles.
Answer:
- The malleus is attached to the tympanic membrane, and the stapes is connected to the oval window of the cochlea.
- The inner ear has two main parts - the cochlea and the semicircular canals.
- Thus, the path through which vibration of sound is transferred in the human ear is as follows:
Auditory canal $\to$ Tympanum $\to$ Ear ossicles $\to$ Oval window $\to$ Cochlea
