Solution

The correct option is B Dorsal ganglion
Pseudounipolar neuron means 'pseudo= false, uni= one instead they are bipolar with two branches.
It is a type of sensory neuron in the peripheral nervous system.
They have an axon that has split into two branches where one of the branches runs to the periphery and the other to the spinal cord.
The axons of dorsal ganglion neurons are also known as afferents nerves.
In the peripheral nervous system, the afferents neurons relay sensory information into the central nervous system i.e. the brain and the spinal cord.
So, the correct answer is 'Dorsal ganglion'.
