B Correct answer
Explanation

The compressions and rarefactions are transmitted across the middle ear through the three ear ossicles. The vibrations produced in the ear drum are amplified.

Which of the following order is correct?

  1. Sound $\rightarrow$ ear $\rightarrow$ inner ear $\rightarrow$ vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ brain $\rightarrow$ hearing
  2. Ear $\rightarrow$ Vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ Inner ear $\rightarrow$ hearing $\rightarrow$ brain $\rightarrow$ vibration
  3. Sound $\rightarrow$ ear $\rightarrow$ inner ear $\rightarrow$ vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ hearing $\rightarrow$ brain
  4. Sound $\rightarrow$ ear $\rightarrow$ vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ inner ear $\rightarrow$ brain $\rightarrow$ hearing

D Correct answer
Explanation

When sound strikes the ear drum, it vibrates and this vibration is carried to the inner ear from where it is carried to the brain in the form of impulse. The brain then gives the signal and we hear the sound.
