Solution

The correct option is B Axon
The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity. This insulation helps to increase the rate of transmission of signals. A gap exists between each myelin sheath cell along the axon called Node of Ranvier.
So, the correct option is A.
