Solution

The correct option is B Dendrites - Soma - Axon - Terminal arborisation
The direction of passage of an impulse in a multipolar neuron is
Dendrites - Soma - Axon - Terminal arborization
The dendrites receive the stimulus and forward the same to the soma. From here the action potential generates at the axon hillock which moves to the entire length of the axon and is transmitted to the synapse via the terminal arborization of the axon terminal.
Hene, the correct answer is 'Dendrites - Soma - Axon - Terminal arborization'.
