Solution

The correct option is B Neurons
  • Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system. Every neuron is made of a cell body (also called a soma), dendrites and an axon. Dendrites and axons are nerve fibres.
  • The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord
  • The human brain contains around 100 billion neurons.
  • Hence the core component of the central nervous system is Neuron.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Neurons'.
