Solution
The correct option is C axon
In the myelinated neuron, the myelin sheath is not continuous. The gaps between two consecutive myelin sheaths are called nodes of Ranvier. They are present over the axon. Their function is to speed up propagation of action potentials along the axon. Nodes of Ranvier are not present over dendrite or cell body.
Synapse is the gap between the presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic neuron.
