Answer 1

The correct option is C The membranous labyrinth

The auricle is the visible part of the ear that is outside the head and part of the outer ear.
The inner ear is also called the labyrinth. It consists of two parts, the bony and the membranous labyrinths.
The inner ear also contains a complex system called vestibular apparatus, located above the cochlea. The vestibular apparatus is composed of three semi-circular canals and the otolith organ consisting of the saccule and utricle.
