Solution

The correct option is A Stapedius
The stapedius is the smallest skeletal muscle in the human body. It arises from the back wall of the middle-ear cavity and extends forward and attaches to the neck of the head of the stapes. This muscle dampens the ability of the stapes vibration and protects the inner ear from high noise levels, primarily the volume of our own voice. Hence option B is correct.
