Bending of stereocilia toward taller row causes:

Go with C — Depolarization. Within Sensory System Ear Physiology, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, Depolarization is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Sensory System Ear Physiology. Holding that picture in mind makes Depolarization feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by Depolarization.

Scala vestibuli and scala tympani (C) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Sensory System Ear Physiology: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system. A useful study habit is to ask what the structure or process is for: location matters here: Scala vestibuli and scala tympani is the structure or site that matches the description. That reasoning supports Scala vestibuli and scala tympani. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Scala vestibuli and scala tympani from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Sensory System Ear Physiology.
