Correct Answer

Explanation:

The inner ear has two parts that are - the bony labyrinth and the membranous labryinth. The entire inner ear is bathed in cushioning fluid.

The membranous labyrinth lies within the bony labyrinth, and contains the fluid called endolymph.

The perilymphatic space between the outer wall of the membranous labyrinth and the wall of the bony labyrinth contains the fluid called perilymph. In other words we can say that membranous labyrinth is suspended in the perilymph. So, the option \'1\' stating that - Perilymph is contained within the bony and membranous labyrinths is correct.
