ANSWER
Stapes is an ear bone or ossicle. There are three ear ossicles in the middle ear, malleus, incus and stapes. Malleus is attached to tympanic membrane or ear drum. Next to malleus, incus is present which is followed by stapes. Stapes is attached to the membrane of oval window or fenestra ovalis. Stapes strikes against oval window in back and forth direction to transmit the vibrations generated in tympanic membrane.
So, the correct answer is 'Stapes is attached to tympanic membrane'.
