The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the specific term used to refer to the plasmalemma (cell membrane) of an axon. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided include: - A) Axolemma - B) Neurilemma - C) Sarcolemma - D) None of these 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: Axolemma** - This term specifically refers to the plasma membrane of an axon. It is the correct term for the cell membrane surrounding the axon. - **Option B: Neurilemma** - This term refers to the outermost layer of the nerve fiber, which includes the Schwann cell membrane. It is not specific to the axon itself. - **Option C: Sarcolemma** - This term refers to the plasma membrane of muscle fibers, not axons. - **Option D: None of these** - This option would imply that none of the provided terms are correct, which is not the case. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option A: Axolemma**. **Final Answer**: The plasmalemma of an axon is called **Axolemma**. ---
