Solution

The correct option is B No Nissl's granules
Neuroglia or glia are the non-neuronal cells that maintain homoeostasis, form myelin and provide support and protection for neurons in the brain and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous system, whereas neuroglia is the supporting cell. Neurons have an axon but neuroglia does not have it. Neurons contain Nissl's granules which are also not present in neuroglia.
Thus, the correct answer is the option A.
