what is the axon?
A
tube like structure which carries impulses to the cell body down the length of the neuron
B
is a tube-like structure that carries the impulses away from cell body down the length of the neuron, the axon is covered by a fatty layer called myelin sheath
C
tube like structure which carries impulses to and from the cell body down the length of the neuron with the axon being covered in fatty acid
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An axon is a tube-like structure that propagates the integrated signal to specialized endings called axon terminals. These terminals in turn synapse on other neurons, muscle, or target organs. Chemicals released at axon terminals allow signals to be communicated to these other cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each neuron in your brain has one long cable that snakes away from the main part of the cell. This cable, several times thinner than a human hair, is called an axon, and it is where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Axon is a single, long fibre that extends from the other side of the cell body of neuron. It is covered by a sheath called myelin sheath. Axon is the most important part of the neuron. It carries messages from the cell body of one neuron to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Axon is a tube-like structure that carries electrical impulse from the cell body to the axon terminals that pass the impulse to another neuron.

Detailed explanation-5: -The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve. motor neurons.
