Rare in adults, these neurons are only found in sense organs like the eye and nose:
A
unipolar
B
bipolar
C
multipolar
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bipolar neurons are relatively rare. They are sensory neurons found in olfactory epithelium, the retina of the eye, and ganglia of the vestibulocochlear nerve.

Detailed explanation-2: -A bipolar neuron, or bipolar cell, is a type of neuron that has two extensions (one axon and one dendrite). Many bipolar cells are specialized sensory neurons for the transmission of sense. As such, they are part of the sensory pathways for smell, sight, taste, hearing, touch, balance and proprioception.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bipolar cells (BCs) are the central neurons of the retina which carry light-elicited signals from photoreceptors and horizontal cells (HCs) in the outer retina to amacrine cells (ACs) and ganglion cells (GCs) in the inner retina.
