Yes. b.

Thanks.

The basic function of the outer ear is to concentrate and funnel sound waves to the eardrum. This helps in collecting and directing sound waves towards the middle ear. To get this answer, you can start by understanding the different parts of the ear and their functions. The outer ear consists of the pinna (also known as the auricle) and the ear canal. The pinna is the visible part of the ear, while the ear canal is a tube-like structure that leads to the eardrum. By learning about the different parts and understanding their functions, you can determine that the function of the outer ear is to concentrate and funnel sound waves to the eardrum.
