Which of the following means Collection of axon in the central nervous system:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tract . In the central nervous system (CNS), a tract refers to a bundle or collection of axons (nerve fibers) that transmit similar typof information, such as motor or sensory signals, within the brain or spinal cord. For example, the corticospinal tract carrimotor signals from the brain to the spinal cord. Choice A, Ganglion, is incorrect because it refers to a cluster of neuron cell bodies, typically found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), not a collection of axons in the CNS. Choice B, Nerve, is also incorrect as it describa bundle of axons in the PNS, not the CNS, where the term tract is used instead. Choice C, Nucleus, refers to a group of neuron cell bodiwithin the CNS, not axons, making it an unsuitable answer. Thus, Tract is the precise term for a collection of axons in the CNS, making D the correct choice.
