Consider the two statements regarding the human internal ear:
Statement I:  The malleus is attached to the tympanic membrane and the stapes is attached to the oval window of the cochlea.
Statement II:  At the base of the cochlea, the scala vestibuli ends at the round window, while the scala tympani terminates at the oval window which opens to the middle ear.

Given below is the chronological sequence of events in mechanisms of vision and hearing. The correct events are:
A Mechanism of vision Light induces dissociation of the retinal from opsin → change in the structure of the opsin → membrane permeability changes → generation of action potentials in the ganglion cells through the bipolar cells → action potentials are transmitted by the optic nerves to the visual cortex.
 
B Mechanism of hearing Vibrations are transmitted through the ear ossicles to the round window → vibrations generate waves in the lymphs → this induces a ripple in the Reissner’s membrane → the hair cells press them against the basilar membrane → nerve impulses generated are transmitted to the auditory cortex.
 
1. Only A
2. Only B
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B
