Solution
The correct option is C Axon Dendrites are the small extension of nerve cells that receives signals from sensory receptors or other neurons.
The long extension of the cell body of the nerve cell is called as axon that serves to conduct the nerve impulse away from the cell body.
Cyton /soma is the metabolic center of the nerve cell where the metabolic contents are manufactured. It is not involved in nerve impulse conduction. The nucleus is present in the soma.
