The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding the Term "Multipolar Neuron":** - A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron characterized by having multiple extensions from the cell body. These extensions include dendrites and an axon. 2. **Identifying the Components:** - In a multipolar neuron, there are many dendrites (also referred to as dendrons) that receive signals from other neurons. - There is only one axon that transmits signals away from the neuron to other neurons or muscles. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option 1:** "With one dendron and one axon" - This is incorrect because multipolar neurons have many dendrites. - **Option 2:** "With many dendron and one axon" - This is correct as it accurately describes the structure of a multipolar neuron. - **Option 3:** "With one dendron and no axon" - This is incorrect because multipolar neurons have one axon. - **Option 4:** "With many dendron and no axons" - This is also incorrect because multipolar neurons do have one axon. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis of the options, the correct definition of a multipolar neuron is given in **Option 2**, which states that it has many dendrites and one axon.
