Answer: The correct option is a) synapse
Explanation:
A neuron (also called neurone or nerve cell) is a cell that carries electrical impulses. They are the basic units of the nervous system.
Every neuron consists of a cell body (also called a soma), dendrites and an axon. Axons and dendrites are nerve fibres.
Synapse is, infact, a structure that permits the neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron, hence, it is not part of the neuron.
A Nissl body is a large granular body found in neurons and are site of protein synthesis.
