The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Neurons**: Neurons are specialized cells that transmit nerve impulses. They are the fundamental units of the nervous system. 2. **Types of Neurons**: There are several types of neurons categorized based on their structure: - **Unipolar Neurons**: These have one process extending from the cell body and are primarily sensory neurons. - **Bipolar Neurons**: These have two processes and are found in specific locations such as the retina of the eye and olfactory epithelium. - **Multipolar Neurons**: These have multiple processes (more than two) extending from the cell body and are the most common type of neuron in the human body. - **Non-polar Neurons**: These are not found in humans; they are present in certain organisms like Hydra. 3. **Identifying the Most Common Type**: Among the types listed, multipolar neurons are the most prevalent in the human nervous system, particularly in the central nervous system (CNS). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Most of the human neurons are" is **multipolar neurons**. ---
