In the middle ear, there are three bones which are known as ossicles. They are the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes). These bones vibrate with the vibration of the eardrum and pass the vibrations to the cochlea. These are the smallest bones in the human body which are involved in the hearing mechanism.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
