Long fiber with branched end is?
A
Cell body
B
Dendrite
C
Axon
D
Axon terminal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each branch terminates as a bulb-like structure called the. The axon is a long fibre, the distal end of which is branched. Each branch terminates as a bulb-like structure called the synaptic knob.

Detailed explanation-2: -axon, also called nerve fibre, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. A neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells. Some axons may be quite long, reaching, for example, from the spinal cord down to a toe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The distal branch of the axon terminates in bulb-like structures called synaptic knob filled with chemicals called neuro transmitters.

Detailed explanation-4: -Axon branching connects single neurons with multiple targets, which, along with the formation of highly branched terminal arbors, underlies the complex circuitry of the vertebrate CNS.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dendrites transmit electrical impulses towards the cyton. One of the fibres arising from the cell body is very long with a branched distal end and it is called Axon.
