Answer:

Option B , Dendrite

Step-by-step explanation:

The information through axon of one neuron is passed on to the dendrite of other neuron. Thus dendrites are responsible for receiving nerve impulses from other cells. The place where a axon of one neuron meets the dendrite of other neuron or any other type of cell such as muscle cells is called synapse. Actually Synapse is a gap between the axon and dendrite.

A chemical called neurotransmitter released by the axon of one neuron passes through the synapse to bind to the dendrite of other neuron or cell. Thus, It is the dendrite that receives the impulse.
