Solution

The correct option is C
dendrites

Dendrites are short cytoplasmic projections which extend from cyton and remain embedded below the sense organs/receptors [eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin]. They detect stimuli and forward it to cyton of the neuron, thus enabling an appropriate response by CNS.
