Solution

The correct option is B Synapse
The gap between two neurons across which impulses are conducted is known as a synapse. The presynaptic is the region of the axonic end of one neuron and the post synaptic is the dendritic end of the other neuron. It is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell and acts as a communication point between the neuron and the target organ. The nerve impulses are transmitted and received with the help of this regions.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
