This structure receives messages from the terminal bouton of a presynaptic neuron
A
Axon
B
Dendrite
C
Cell Body
D
Axon Hillock
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, it causes neurotransmitter to be released from the neuron into the synaptic cleft, a 20–40nm gap between the presynaptic axon terminal and the postsynaptic dendrite (often a spine).

Detailed explanation-2: -The surface of the dendrites is filled with receptors that become enacted upon by neurotransmitters that traversed the synapse after the pre-synaptic neuron fired and released neurotransmitters into the synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -Terminal buttons belong to the presynaptic endings of the neuron and have vessels containing neurotransmitters. These are responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons.
