Answer:

C. gap/junction between a sending neuron and a receiving neuron

Step-by-step explanation:

A synapse is a junction between a sending neuron and a receiving neuron.

A synapse also referred to as a neuronal junction is the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector).
