Solution

The correct option is B
Axons; dendrites

An axon, or nerve fibre, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles, they help make up nerves. Dendrites are the short branched extensions of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body. Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse is a small gap separating neurons.
