Explanation:

Georg Von Békésy's research showed that the basilar membrane contains traveling waves which are crucial for the process of hearing. Auditory is a general term related to hearing but not the specific wave type. Coiled, fluid - filled describes the cochlea's structure rather than a wave. Isometric is not related to the waves in the basilar membrane.
