Solution
The correct option is C Axon
The node of Ranvier is a periodic gap in the insulating sheath on the axon of certain neurons that serves to facilitate the rapid conduction of nerve impulses. These interruptions in the myelin covering were first discovered in 1878 by French histologist and pathologist Louis Antoine Ranvier, who describes the nodes as constrictions. They are present in myelinated nerves.
