Solution

The correct option is D Neuron
Neurons/nerve cells are the structural and functional units of the nervous system. They continue to divide for a very short period after childbirth and then stop dividing to ensure the constant neuron connections in brain cells which in turn determine the memory and other working processes of the brain. The correct answer is D.
