A
A synapse
B
A neurotransmitter
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles. Hence, The gap between two neurons is called a Synapse. So, the correct answer is ‘Synapse’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The gap between two neurons is called as synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gap between two neurons is called a synapse. It is the juncture where the axon of one neuron forms a connection with another neuron. This connection is called a synaptic gap or synapse. Synapses are essential for neural communication and the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synapses refer to the points of contact between neurons where information is passed from one neuron to the next. Synapses most often form between axons and dendrites, and consist of a presynaptic neuron, synaptic cleft, and a postsynaptic neuron.

Detailed explanation-5: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.
