Answer 2

Answer:

A)  The auditory tube drains into the nasopharynx.

Explanation:

The auditory tube is also known as the Eustachian tube. It connects the ‘middle ear cavity’ to the nasopharynx. This aerates the middle ear and enables mucociliary activity to ensure clearance of mucous from the middle ear into the nasopharynx and protects it from infections.  

The opening and closing of the ‘auditory tube’ is very critical for balance and movement, and the connection to the nasopharynx on one end allows it to adjust the air pressure accordingly.
