Correct Answer
D Tonoplast
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The neurilemma (also known as the Schwann cell membrane or plasma membrane of a nerve cell) is intimately involved in the diffusion and active transport of ions like sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+), which are crucial for generating nerve impulses (action potentials).

Hint

Think about which cell type is famous for its electrical activity based on sodium and potassium movement.
