Solution

The correct option is D DendriteCell bodyAxon Axon terminal
  • The cell body of a neuron is called cyton. It bears various branched processes called dendrites which receive the electric impulses.
  • From cyton, a long unbranched projection arises called axon which carries the impulse away from it.
  • The end portion of the axon is called the axon terminal which transmits the electrical impulses to the next neuron at synapse.
