Solution

The correct option is A Conduction of nerve impulse
Acetylcholinesterase, also known as AChE or acetylhydrolase, is a hydrolase that hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. AChE is found at mainly neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic brain synapses, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission. It belongs to the carboxylesterase family of enzymes.
Thus the correct answer is option D.
