The correct answer is d) The ability to be stimulated and to convey electrical impulses.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells that have the ability to transmit the nerve impulse in the form of an electric current. When a neuron is stimulated, electrical changes occur in its membrane that are transmitted from the dendrites to the axon, crossing the entire neuron, that is, when a neuron is stimulated, some electrical changes that begin in the dendrites originate, pass by the neuronal body, and end up in the axon. This electrical impulse passes from one neuron to another through synapses, connections formed between the final end of the axon of a neuron and the dendrite of the adjacent neuron.
