I believe the correct answer would be B. Dendrites receive stimuli from nerve cells. Dendrites are the part of neurons that are responsible of receiving stimulation for a cell to become active. It conducts messages in the form of electrical impulses to the neuron. They would receive impulses from the receptors and other neurons. Then, these impulses are sent to the cell body containing the nucleus. They are short and thread like fibers that are extending from the body of a nerve cell or a neuron. They are called as such since they commonly branch out like in order to do certain processes.
