Correct Option: A

The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle and inner ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna and the auditory canal. The middle ear is filled with air and contains three tiny bones called ossicles - the anvil, hammer and stirrup. The inner ear contains the semicircular canals and the cochlea. Eardrum is the membrane of middle ear. Snakes have fully developed inner ear structures but no eardrum.
