Solution

The correct option is A Synapse
In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron. Synapsis is the fusion of chromosome pairs at the start of meiosis. A cell junction (or intercellular bridge) is a type of structure that exists within the tissue of some multicellular organisms, such as animals. Cell junctions consist of multiprotein complexes that provide contact between neighbouring cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. Synapticula is one of the numerous calcareous processes which extend between, and unite, the adjacent septa of certain corals.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
