The correct option is D

A signal is transmitted along the neuron from one end to another end in the form of a nerve impulse. The impulse is generated as a result of differential electrical charges due to difference in the concentration of ions across the membrane of the neuron . Thus, the nature of a nerve impulse is electrochemical.
