In humans, balance is maintained by vestibular apparatus in inner ear which contain specific receptors called crista and macula. Crista is a projecting ridge of ampulla of semi-circular canals. Macula is a projecting ridge of saccule and utricle (or sacculus and utriculus) which are otolith organs in vestibular apparatus.
So, the correct answer is 'Utriculus, sacculus and semicircular canals'.
