Solution
The correct option is A Cochlea
The receptor organ for sense of hearing is organ of Corti located in the inner ear. It is considered as body's microphone. It is present on the basilar membrane which is the floor of cochlear duct. Cochlea is a part of inner ear. Many mechanoreceptors are present in the organ or Corti. There are many sensitive hair cells present in rows on the internal side of organ of Corti. The basal ends of hair cells are in close contact with the afferent nerve fibres. From the apical part of each hair cell, large number of processes called stereo cilia project. A thin elastic membrane is present above the row of hair cells and is called tectorial membrane.So, the correct answer is 'Cochlea'
