Solution

The correct option is B

Eardrum


Ear drum is the part of the ear that vibrates in response to the sound waves. The eardrum is a thin flap of skin that is stretched tight like a drum and vibrates when sound hits it. These vibrations move the tiny bones of the middle ear which send vibrations to the inner ear.
