Answer»

The correct option is (b) stapes

To elaborate: One of the BONES, called the stapes, rests upon the lower end of the cochlea and passes the vibrations directly into the FLUID within.A chain of THREE small, MIDDLE ear bones couple the tympanic membrane to a membrane COVERED opening, called the oval window. The total force on the oval window is the same as that on the tympanic membrane.
