Answer:c. Dendrite → cell body → axon hillock → axon

Explanation:a neuron has many cytoplasmic extensions called dendrites. the dentrites enter into the cell body at one end. the cell body also leads to axon at the other end, which extends toward another dentrite. axon hillock connect the axon to the cell body.

Impulses are usually transmitted along the neuron in one direction.

From the dendrites to the cell body, to the axon hillock and then to the axon.
