Explanation:

When sound enters the ear, it first travels through the auditory canal. Then it hits the eardrum (tympanic membrane), causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes). Finally, the ossicles' vibrations are transferred to the cochlea where the sound is further processed for auditory perception.

Answer:

A. auditory canal, eardrum, ossicles, cochlea
