None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrite – The receiving part of the neuron. Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons, with the sum total of dendritic inputs determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential. Spine – The small protrusions found on dendrites that are, for many synapses, the postsynaptic contact site.
Detailed explanation-2: -Function of Dendrites Dendrites receive the data or signals from another neuron. Dendrite collects and stores all incoming information from axon terminals. Dendrites are the structures of neurons, which conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body of the nerve cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites are the structures on neurons that allow the cell to receive signals from other neurons. They are often, but not always, branched cytoplasmic processes that attach to one side of the cell body. They contain many of organelles found in the cell body, which perform the same metabolic functions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The core conceptual advantage of using dendrites is that they allow for the segregation of synaptic inputs, which in turn enables multiple parallel operations to be performed on the inputs, e.g. in retinal ganglion neurons (Koch et al., 1983). Point neurons cannot process different synaptic inputs separately.
