The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of a muscle fiber. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - Motor neuron: A type of neuron that transmits impulses to muscles. - Sarcolemma: The cell membrane of a muscle fiber. - Junction: The area where two structures meet. 3. **Options Analysis**: The options provided are: - A) Neuromuscular junction - B) Motor end plate - C) Gap junction - D) Both A and B 4. **Defining the Junction**: The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma is known as the **neuromuscular junction**. This is where the motor neuron communicates with the muscle fiber. 5. **Alternative Name**: The neuromuscular junction is also referred to as the **motor end plate**. Thus, both terms refer to the same structure. 6. **Conclusion**: Since both options A (neuromuscular junction) and B (motor end plate) are correct, the final answer is **D) Both A and B**. ---
