Solution

The correct option is C membranes of synaptic vesicles
The nervous system is a highly integrated system. It has three overlapping functions based on sensory input, integration, and motor output. With a receptor site for chemical synapse with the membrane of synaptic vesicle is the primary function of the nervous system is to control and communicate information throughout the body.
So, the correct option is 'membrane of synaptic vesicle'.
