Unipolar neurons are always ____
A
Sensory
B
Reflex
C
Visual
D
Only in the CNS
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unipolar cells are exclusively sensory neurons and have two unique characteristics. First, their dendrites are receiving sensory information, sometimes directly from the stimulus itself. Secondly, the cell bodies of unipolar neurons are always found in ganglia.

Detailed explanation-2: -A unipolar neuron is a neuron in which only one process, called a neurite, extends from the cell body. The neurite then branches to form dendritic and axonal processes. Most neurons in the central nervous systems of invertebrates, including insects, are unipolar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons A chemical input comes from taste or smell, which neurons then send to the brain. Most sensory neurons are pseudounipolar, which means they only have one axon which is split into two branches.
