Solution

The correct option is B Cartilage
The ear in the human body is divided into three compartments: the external ear, middle ear, and inner ear. The external ear is the pinna or auricle, a cartilage-supported fleshy flap that helps to funnel sound waves into the external auditory canal.
So, the correct answer is 'Cartilage'
