A
hormones
B
axon
C
dendrites
D
cell body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is present in the cyton part of the nerve cell. Cyton is a large part of the fiber of a nerve, or neuron.

Detailed explanation-2: -The region of the neuron containing the nucleus is known as the cell body, soma, or perikaryon (Figure 8.2). The cell body is the metabolic center of the neuron.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell body contains genetic information, maintains the neuron’s structure, and provides energy to drive activities. Like other cell bodies, a neuron’s soma contains a nucleus and specialized organelles. It’s enclosed by a membrane that both protects it and allows it to interact with its immediate surroundings.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Nucleus of a neuron is an oval shaped membrane-bound structure found in the soma or body of the neuron. It contains the nucleolus and chromosomes, necessary for the coded production of proteins within the cell. The nucleolus of the nucleus produces ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -A typical neuron has all the parts that any cell would have, and a few specialized structures that set it apart. The main portion of the cell is called the soma or cell body. It contains the nucleus, which in turn contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes.
