Solution

The correct options are
A The sense cells of the cochlea
B Vibration for the last ossicle
The cochlear nerve carries auditory sensory information from the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the brain. Hence, the auditory nerve gets it's inputs from the sense cells of the cochlea.
So, the correct answer is A.
