Explanation

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit and process information in the nervous system. They are classified into three types based on the number of axon and dendrites they possess. Multipolar neurons have one axon and multiple dendrites. Unipolar neurons have a single process extending from the cell body that bifurcates into two branches, one acting as an axon and the other as a dendrite. Bipolar neurons have a single dendrite and a single axon. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
