Solution

The correct option is A Cochlea
The inner ear structure called as the cochlea is a snail-shell-like structure divided into three fluid-filled parts. Two are canals for the transmission of pressure and in the third is the sensitive organ of Corti, which detects pressure impulses and responds with electrical impulses, which travel along the auditory nerve to the brain.
