Solution

The correct option is A

The Cochlea


Part A is the Cochlea. It is a portion of the inner ear that looks like a snail shell. The cochlea receives sound in the form of vibrations, which cause the stereocilia to move. The stereocilia then convert these vibrations into nerve impulses which are taken up to the brain to be interpreted.
