Solution

The correct option is C Basilar membrane
Basilar membrane is a supporting membrane, that supports the organ of Corti in the ear and aids in translating sound vibrations into electrical signals. Resting on the basilar membrane is the organ of Corti, which contains the hair cells that give rise to nerve signals in response to sound vibrations.
