Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry information from one neuron to another across the synapse. They are released by the presynaptic neuron upon the arrival of an action potential and bind to specific receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing either the excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.
