The stapes is the third bone of the three ossicles in the middle ear. The stapes is a stirrup shaped bone and the smallest bone in the human body. It rests on the oval window to which it is connected by an annular ligament. So, the correct answer is 'Stapes'.

At 3 mm x 2.5 mm, the "stapes" in the middle ear is the smallest named bone in the human body. The shape of a stirrup, this bone is one of three in the middle ear, collectively known as the ossicles.
