C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Dendrites are extensions, or processes, of the cytoplasm that carry impulses to the cell body. An extension or process called an axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nervous tissue also includes cells that do not transmit impulses, but instead support the activities of the neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites receive nerve impulses from other cells. Axons pass the nerve impulses on to other cells. A single neuron may have thousands of dendrites, so it can communicate with thousands of other cells but only one axon.
