Solution
The correct option is A Neuron
Neurons or nerve cells are the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. These have a special structure and vary greatly in size and shape. Each neuron has a cell body which encloses cytoplasm and has a nucleus. A number of processes arise from the cell body. They usually have a single axon and a variable number of dendrites. Nerve impulse enters and leaves a neuron through the dendrites and axon endings respectively.
