Solution

The correct option is B Utricle & Saccule
The inner ear also contains a complex system called vestibular apparatus. The vestibular apparatus is composed of three semi-circular canals (consisting of crista ampullaris) and the otolith organ (consisting of the saccule and utricle with a projecting ridge called macula). The crista and macula are the specific receptors of the vestibular apparatus responsible for maintenance of balance of the body and posture.
