Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Internal ear (membranous labyrinth) is surrounded by an almost similar shaped bony labyrinth.The membranous labyrinth is joined to the bony labyrinth at certain points, but its greater part is separated from the bony labyrinth by a narrow perilymphatic space.This space is filled with a watery fluid called perilymph that closely resembles cerebrospinal fluid.
