Solution

The correct option is B dcab
Dendrites receive impulse from the preceding neuron. They are attached to cyton. Cyton is the cell body of the neuron containing the nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm. This is connected to a long slender fiber called the axon. The axon is connected to thin root-like projections called terminal branches. Hence, the nerve impulse travels through dendrites, cyton, axon and terminal branches. The correct answer is option B.
