Otoliths are small stones in the semicircular canals that shift when the head moves. Please select the best answer from the choi

This question actually refers to body parts: otoliths are small structures in your inner ears (in the semicircular canals, so this part is correct) that shift when you move - to help you sense your body position (so this part is also true).
