Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Nissl's granules are specialized structures found in the cell body of neurons. They are clusters of ribosomes, which are responsible for synthesizing the proteins required for the normal functioning of the neuron. The cell body also contains other organelles, such as mitochondria and Golgi apparatus, which are involved in cellular metabolism and protein trafficking. The dendrites and axons of neurons are primarily involved in receiving and transmitting signals, respectively, and do not contain Nissl's granules. The presence of Nissl's granules in the cell body helps to distinguish neurons from other types of cells in the nervous system.
