  • C Dendrite ✔ ✖
  • D Glomerulus ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

A neuron is a specialized cell that transmits information in the nervous system. It consists of three primary structures: the cell body, the axon, and the dendrites. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles necessary for the neuron's function. The axon is a long, slender structure that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body, while dendrites are shorter and more branched structures that receive signals from other neurons. The glomerulus, on the other hand, is not a part of a neuron but a part of the nephron in the kidney. Therefore, the correct answer is D) Glomerulus.
