Solution

The correct option is A Multipolar
a) Multipolar neurons have more than two processes emanating from the neuron cell body. They are mainly located in central nervous system and are most common type of human neurons.
b) Bipolar neurons are relatively rare. They are sensory neurons found in olfactory epithelium, the retina of the eye, and ganglia of the vestibulocochlear nerve.
c) A unipolar neuron is a type of neuron in which only one protoplasmic process (neurite) extends from the cell body.
d) Pseudounipolar neurons have an axon that is split into two different branches, one running into the periphery while the other running into the spinal cord. It is different from a conventional unipolar neuron because it lacks a separate dendritic process
So, the correct answer is 'Multipolar'
