A Correct answer
Explanation

A neuron has three basic parts: dendrites (which receive signals), cell body or cyton (which contains the nucleus and processes signals), and axon (which transmits signals). Axon is clearly one of these three fundamental components. Myelin is a protective sheath around axons, pons is a brain region, and dura mater is a protective membrane - none are basic neuron parts.
