Solution
The correct option is C Vestibular apparatus
The vestibular apparatus is the sensory apparatus which is present in the inner ear that helps to maintain the balance and posture of the body. It has no role in hearing.
An Eustachian tube connects the middle ear cavity with the pharynx. The Eustachian tube helps in equalising the pressures on either side of the eardrum.
The organ of corti is a structure located on the basilar membrane which contains hair cells that act as auditory receptors.
Malleus, incus and stapes are three ear ossicles which are present in the middle ear. They transmit the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
