Explanation

Go with C — Nodes of Ranvier. Within Neuron; Structure and Function, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, cause and effect line up with Nodes of Ranvier — that is the mechanism or reason the stem is pointing to. Holding that picture in mind makes Nodes of Ranvier feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by Nodes of Ranvier.
