What is the greatest benefit of having three semicircular canals involved in detecting rotational equilibrium?

A) It allows for one to be in each dimension of space.
B) It increases the surface area for detection of direction.
C) It provides backups in case one gets damaged.
D) It can process information faster.
E) It produces larger volumes of calcium carbonate.

Semicircular Canals

Three looped structures within the inner ear that are key to maintaining balance by detecting rotational movements of the head.

Rotational Equilibrium

A state where an object remains in a constant rotational motion or at rest because the sum of the torques acting on it is zero.

Calcium Carbonate

A chemical compound with the formula CaCO3, found in rocks (like limestone) and is the main component of shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs.
