Solution
The correct option is A Vestibular apparatus
Semicircular canals and vestibule together form the vestibular apparatus. They are the organ of equilibrium and are located in the inner ear. Whenever there is movement in the head, the hair cell get stimulated by the action of endolymph present in the semicircular canals. These hair cells convert the movement of endolymph into nerve impulse. This nerve impulse is carried to the brain and the change of position is detected.
