Solution
The correct option is A Auditory The hair cells of the organ of Corti is continuous with the basilar membrane. The motion of the basilar membrane bends and twists and pulls and pushes the hairs. Under these physical stresses, the hairs generate electrical signals, which stimulate the auditory nerve (eighth cranial nerve).
