The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Acetylcholine is secreted by cholinergic neurons. Acetylcholine made by these neurons taken up into synaptic vesicles by a vesicular transporter. It must be rapidly removed from the synapse if repolarization is to occur. The removal occurs by way of hydrolysis of acetylcholine to choline and acetate, a reaction catalysed by acetylcholinesterase.

Nerve Impulses

It is a kind of coded signal that travels along the nerve membrane to stimulus cells-like muscle cells, hormone cells, gland cells etc. Using this nerve impulse the Nerve cells Communicate with other cells to perform a particular task and this coded signal relays on the Axon of the neuron.
