The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unipolar Neurons**: Unipolar neurons are a type of neuron characterized by having a single process extending from the cell body. This process typically branches into two parts: one that acts as a dendrite and the other that functions as an axon. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Nerve cell with one dendron." - This option is incorrect because unipolar neurons do not have dendrons; they have a single process that splits into two branches. - **Option 2**: "Nerve cell with many dendrons." - This option is also incorrect. Neurons with many dendrites are classified as multipolar neurons, not unipolar. - **Option 3**: "Nerve cell without dendrites." - This option is correct. Unipolar neurons do not have traditional dendrites; their single process serves the function of both receiving and transmitting signals. - **Option 4**: "Neuron with one dendron and one axon." - This option is incorrect as it describes a bipolar neuron, which has one dendrite and one axon. 3. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option 3: Nerve cell without dendrites**.
