Solution

The correct option is D

Nerve cells are some of the smallest cells


The nerve cells are the longest cell of the body. They are comprised of a cell body called cyton, dendrites and long processes arising from it called axon and axon terminals. Since the nerves need to reach out to all the parts of the body, the axons are very long. This helps nerve cells to convey the stimulus from the receptors to the brain and the spinal cord and in turn, send motor signals to the effector organs.
