The Eustachian Tube is located in the ear. It is a small passage that connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. This tube plays an important role in equalizing the pressure between the middle ear and the air outside the body. When there is a difference in pressure, such as during air travel or when diving underwater, the Eustachian Tube opens to allow air to enter or leave the middle ear, which helps to maintain balance and prevent discomfort or damage to the eardrum. Additionally, the Eustachian Tube also helps in draining fluids and mucus from the middle ear. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 - Ear.
