Solution

The correct option is C axon terminal
Synapse is the site in which impulse transmission takes place between the axon terminals of a pre-synaptic neuron and the dendrites of the post-synaptic neuron separated by a fine gap.
There are two types of synapses - electrical and chemical. In electrical synapse, electrical charges help in impulse transmission. In chemical synapse, chemicals called neurotransmitters help in impulse transmission.
