A
synaptic knob
B
motor end plate
C
synaptic cleft
D
motor neural termination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The synapse at the neuromuscular junction has three characteristic features of chemical synapses in the nervous system. First, there is a distinct separation between the presynaptic and the postsynaptic membrane. The space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-2: -the narrow space between the synaptic terminal an the muscle fiber is the. synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is (c): The synapse between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic target cell contains an intercellular space known as the synaptic cleft. The axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
