Answer:

B. white matter and is myelinated

Step-by-step explanation:

white matter contains Axons. Impulses travel through axons. A myelinated axon transmits action potentials at a speed of about 100m/s while a unmyelinated axon transmits action potentials at a speed of about 1-10m/s

The grey matter contains the cell bodies of neurons
