Solution

The correct option is C Perilymph and endolymph
The cochlea is the part of internal ear which is involved in hearing. It is a spiral shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth in humans. It mainly consists of the perilymph and endolymph. Perilymph has similar ionic composition as extracellular fluid in the body and fills the scalae tympani and vestibuli.
Endolymph is a watery fluid, which moves in response to the vibrations coming from the middle ear via the oval window.
