B Correct answer
Explanation

The synapse is the critical junction where neural impulses are transmitted from neurons to target cells like muscle fibers or gland cells. At this specialized connection, neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals and bind to receptors on the target cell, completing the signal transmission. The cyton contains the nucleus, dendrites receive signals, and axons carry them, but the synapse enables final delivery.
