Solution

The correct option is B Axon
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body in form of a wave of depolarization. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles and glands.
So, the correct option is 'Axon'.
