Final answer:
The incorrect statement about the otolith organs is that they are found in three positions: superior, posterior, and horizontal.
Step-by-step explanation:
The false statement in regards to the otolith organs is "B. Are found in three positions: superior, posterior, and horizontal." The otolith organs, specifically the utricle and saccule, respond to linear acceleration due to gravity and are found in two positions within the vestibular system of the inner ear. They help in maintaining balance and understanding the orientation of the head. The tallest hair cells within the utricle point toward the striola, and the tallest hair cells in the saccule point away from the striola, as mentioned in option C and D, respectively. Thus, these statements are correct. Lastly, the organs are indeed active for as long as the head remains in a tilted position because they are sensitive to head positions relative to gravity.
