The correct sequence of events that would lead to a person hearing a sound is as follows:
1) Transmission - sound enters the ear and causes the eardrum to vibrate.
2) Transduction - the vibration of the eardrum is translated into electrical signals by the hair cells in the cochlea.
3) Integration - the electrical signals are sent to the brainstem and then to the auditory cortex for further processing and interpretation.
4) Amplification - the hair cells in the cochlea amplify the sound vibrations before they are transduced into electrical signals. 
Therefore, the correct sequence is 2, 4, 1, 3, which corresponds to option C.
