Solution

The correct option is A One axon and one dendron
A bipolar neuron or bipolar cell is a type of neuron which has two extensions (one axon and one dendrite).
Bipolar cells are specialized sensory neurons for the transmission of special senses.
They are part of the sensory pathways for smell, sight, taste, hearing and vestibular functions. Hence, A bipolar neuron has One axon and one dendron.
So, the correct answer is 'One axon and one dendron'.
