C) tympanometry.
D) otoscopy.

Electronystagmography

A diagnostic test to record involuntary movements of the eye (nystagmus) caused by a condition or as a response to a test.

Auditory-evoked Response

An electrical potential in response to an auditory stimulus, used to assess hearing and brainstem function.

Tympanometry

A diagnostic test that measures the movement of the eardrum in response to changes in air pressure, indicating middle ear function.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Electronystagmography (ENG) is a recording of eye movement in response to specific stimuli. It is often used to diagnose vestibular disorders and can help identify the cause of symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo. Option A is incorrect because auditory-evoked response refers to the electrical activity in the brain that occurs in response to sound stimulation. Option C is incorrect because tympanometry is a test that measures the movement of the eardrum in response to changes in air pressure, which can help identify problems such as fluid in the middle ear. Option D is incorrect because otoscopy is a visual examination of the ear canal and eardrum using an otoscope.
