Solution

The correct option is B Stapes
The stapes is a bone in the middle ear of humans and other mammals, which is involved in the conduction of sound vibrations to the inner ear. The stirrup-shaped small bone is one of three ossicles in the middle ear. The stapes receives vibrations from the incus (to which it is connected laterally), and transmits these to the oval window (fenestra ovalis), medially.
