Solution

The correct option is C Axons
The axon terminals are the end of axon fiber and located close to the dendrites of another neuron, forming a connection known as a synapse and allowing them to send messages from neuron to neuron with the help of neurotransmitter.
So, a nerve cell transmits it's impulse to another through its axons.

Thus, option C is correct and other options are wrong.
