Solution

The correct option is A A- Receptor, C- Synaptic vesicles
The synaptic vesicles (represented by C) are present inside the axon terminals and they contain the neurotransmitters. They get attached to the pre-synaptic membrane and release the neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft (represented by B) which gets attached to the receptor (represented by A) present on post-synaptic membrane.
Thus, the correct solution is option A.
