This part of the neuron stores then releases neurotransmitters into the synapse.
A
Axon
B
Dendrite
C
Myelin Sheath
D
Axon Terminal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles of axon terminal and are released into the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-2: -An axon terminal. Neurotransmitters are located in a part of the neuron called the axon terminal. They’re stored within thin-walled sacs called synaptic vesicles. Each vesicle can contain thousands of neurotransmitter molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Acetylcholine, for example, is the neurotransmitter that is released by a neuron to stimulate a muscle cell. If the axon terminal fails to release acetylcholine, there will be no chemical to activate the target muscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The part of the neuron that can release neurotransmitters is the axon terminal. From the axon terminals, neurotransmitters will be released and travel across the synapse to bind to receptors on other neurons, glands, or muscle cells.
