Solution
The correct option is
B
Stapes
Stapes is the third bone of ear ossicles in the middle ear. It is the smallest bone measuring 3*2.5mm roughly.
Incus and malleus are the other two ear ossicles in middle ear larger than stapes.
The maxilla is the bone that holds the upper teeth. It is bigger than Stapes.
So the correct option is B.
