Solution

The correct option is A Malleus
The middle ear contains three tiny bones known as the ossicles. They are malleus, incus and stapes.The vibrations are transmitted further into the ear via these three bones. The malleus is the outermost and largest of the three bones in the middle ear, and reaches an average length of about eight millimeters in the typical adult. Malleus also known as hammer.
So, the correct answer is option B.
