Solution

The correct option is B 1897
The term synapse was first introduced in 1897 by neurophysiologist Charles Sherrington. The gap between two neurons across which impulses are conducted is known as a synapse. Synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell. It is important for neuronal function.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
