QUESTION 30 Which of the following properties of the cochlea is related to so-called "labeled line" coding that allows to distinguish sound frequencies above 20kHz?   A. The changing width and stiffness of the tectorial membrane   B. The changing width and stiffness of the basilar membrane   C. The speed at which sound waves propagate along the length of the cochlea   D. The changing mechanical properties of the cochlear wall along the length of the cochlea   E.
