Solution

The correct option is D Semicircular canal
The semicircular canals are three canals used to provide information to the brain on directional balance and equilibrium. Each canal is lined with cilia and filled with a fluid called endolymph. As the head and body move, the fluid moves and pushes the cilia back and forth to create a motion sensor.
