Solution

The correct option is A Malleus, incus, stapes
The ossicles are, in order from the eardrum to the inner ear (from superficial to deep): the malleus, incus, and stapes, terms that in Latin are translated as "the hammer, anvil, and stirrup" So, the correct option is A. (Malleus, incus, stapes)
