Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The vestibule is not a chamber found in the cochlea. It is actually a part of the inner ear, adjacent to the cochlea, that contains the utricle and saccule, which are responsible for detecting head position and movement. The cochlea, on the other hand, consists of the Scala tympani, Cochlear duct, and Scala vestibuli.
