B
Plasma
C
Axon Terminal
D
Dendrite
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell Body, Dendrites and Axon are the three distinct parts of a neuron. Cell body is the part which contains cytoplasm and nucleus. Dendrites are the smaller branches arising from the cell body. They connect with dendrites of other cells and transfer the signal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites are the receiving or input portions of a neuron. They are usually short, narrow and highly branched structures. In neurons, these dendrites resemble a tree or branches of a tree, extending from the cell body of the nerve cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendritic tree at opposing ends of the cell body. Unipolar neurons have a stalk that extends from the cell body that separates into two branches with one containing the dendrites and the other with the terminal buttons.
