Solution

The correct option is C
Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter released into a neuromuscular synapse. It conveys the signal from the brain to the muscles resulting in an effector response. Usually, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft and they stimulate the adjacent dendrite and new electric impulses are formed. Dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine are examples of such neurotransmitters.
