Mechanism of Hearing -

  • The external ear receives sound waves and directs them to the eardrum.
  • The eardrum vibrates in response to sound waves and these vibrations are transmitted through the ear ossicles (malleus, incus,and stapes) to the oval window. 

Therefore, The external ear receives sound waves and directs them to the eardrum and hence, eardrum becomes the correct option.
