Solution

The correct option is B Centrosome
For any animal cell to divide, spindle-like structures have to be formed by the centrosome.
But nerve cells cannot form the centrosome and as such no spindle fibres. Hence, unlike most animal cells, nerve cells or neurons, as they are otherwise known, generally don't divide.
