Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Right ear. In a patient with left unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, the sound/vibration from the Weber test will lateralize to the unaffected ear, which is the right ear in this case. This occurs because the damaged ear is unable to perceive the sound as well as the healthy ear, causing the sound to be perceived more loudly in the unaffected ear.
Choice A is incorrect because the sound would not lateralize to the left temporal bone, as the affected ear is on the left side.
Choice B is incorrect because in unilateral hearing loss, the sound will typically lateralize to the unaffected ear.
Choice D is incorrect as the sound would not lateralize back to the affected left ear.
