Solution

The correct options are
A

utricle


B

saccule


D

semicircular canals


Sensory information about motion, equilibrium, and spatial orientation are provided by the vestibular apparatus which include the utricle, saccule, and three semicircular canals. The utricle and saccule help in detecting gravity (information in a vertical orientation) and linear movement. Semicircular canals are three tiny, fluid-filled tubes in our inner ear that help us maintain our body balance.
