The correct option is A

True


Synapse, also called neuronal junction, is the point of contact between the terminal branches of the axon of a neuron with the dendrites of another neuron separated by a fine gap. In other words, the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector) is known as the synapse.
