Solution

The correct option is C nerve cell
The longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell. The nerve cell is the longest because of the presence of a long axon. Axon is about 1 meter in length.

A bone cell is called an osteocyte is a star-shaped structure with a central nucleus.

Skeletal muscles are striated and multinucleated.

Cells of the alimentary canal are mainly epithelial cells. They are either columnar, cuboidal in shape. They are present in the walls of the internal organs such as stomach, intestine and blood vessels.
