b. audition.

Explanation:

Basilar membrane: The term "basilar membrane" is determined as one of the "stiff structural element" that is being found in the "cochlea" of an individual's inner ear that generally separates or splits-up two different tubes filled with liquid and therefore runs along with the coil of the scala media, the cochlea, and the scala tympani. It is considered as a very long membrane and is involved in the auditory process.

If the basilar membrane of an individual's ear gets damaged, then it would harm his or her ability to hear.

In the question above, the given statement signifies the "audition".
