The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Structure**: The semicircular canals are part of the inner ear in mammals. They play a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. 2. **Identifying the Fluids**: The inner ear contains several types of fluids. The two main fluids associated with the inner ear are endolymph and perilymph. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Lymph**: This fluid circulates in the lymphatic system and is not related to the inner ear. - **Endolymph**: This is the fluid that fills the semicircular canals and is crucial for the function of the inner ear. - **Perilymph**: This fluid is found in the bony labyrinth and surrounds the membranous labyrinth but does not fill the semicircular canals. - **Haemolymph**: This is a fluid found in the circulatory system of arthropods and is not relevant to mammals. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the fluid present in the semicircular canals of the internal ear of a mammal is **endolymph**. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **endolymph**. ---
