Answer:

A. Semicircular canals

Step-by-step explanation:

The semicircular canals are three very small tubes, located in the inner ear, which contain fluid and help you maintain balance. When you move your head, the liquid inside the semicircular ducts flutters and moves the tiny hairs of each channel. Therefore they are essential to maintain the balance of the body.
