Solution

The correct option is B Chromosome
Neuron carries signals between the brain and various parts of the body.
The cell membrane is the outermost covering of most cells. It regulates the molecules entering and leaving the cell.
Mitochondria produce the energy currency, i.e., ATPs of the cell. It is also called as a powerhouse of the cell as it provides energy currency to the cell.
A chromosome is a thread-like structure, which is made of tightly coiled DNA, i.e., the genetic material of the cell. It possesses genes, which are transferred from parents to offspring. For example, eye color is coded by genes.
