Final answer:

The axon nerve impulse is not self-propagating towards the cell body, but rather away from it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is b. False. The axon nerve impulse is not self-propagating in the direction towards the cell body, but rather in the opposite direction, away from the cell body. When a signal is received by a neuron, it travels along the dendrites towards the soma, then continues along the axon towards the axon terminals where it can transmit signals to other cells.
