The cell body of a sensory neuron is located
Ain a ganglion, off to one side of the axon, outside the central nervous system.
Binside the effector organ that the neuron eventually supplies.
Cwithin the grey matter of the central nervous system.
Dat the neuromuscular junction, next to the effector it supplies.
Explanation
A sensory neuron's cell body sits off to one side of its long axon, in a ganglion outside the CNS (such as a dorsal root ganglion), distinguishing it from a motor neuron whose cell body lies inside the CNS.
