The correct option is D

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via exocytosis.

A neurotransmitter is stored inside synaptic vesicles which is a small sac-like structure. It is released into the synaptic cleft from axon terminals when a cell membrane fuses with vesicles. This process is termed exocytosis with the capability to release neurotransmitters in less than a millisecond.

In neurons of the nervous system, synaptic vesicle exocytosis occurs. Nerve cells communicate by electrical or chemical signals called neurotransmitters which are passed from one neuron to the next one. This transmission of neurotransmitters occurs by exocytosis.

The fundamental biological events of neurotransmission are dependent on neuronal communication and brain function including exocytosis of presynaptic vesicles which is for the release of neurotransmitters and the subsequent endocytosis.

Main sequence stars can be classified according to which characteristics
miskamm [114]

Stars are classified based on the spectral type (i.e. a means to measure the photospheric temperature and density by getting information about the ionisation state).

Under the Morgan–Keenan (MK) system using the letters O, B, A, F, G, K, and M, a sequence from the hottest (O type) to the coolest (M type) (Harvard Spectral classification based on the surface temperature of the stars). A luminosity class is added to the spectral class using Roman numerals (Yerkes Spectral classification). This is based on the width of certain absorption lines in the star's spectrum (0 or Ia+ - hypergiants, I - supergiants, II - bright giants, III - regular giants, IV - sub-giants, V - main-sequence stars, sd - sub-dwarfs, and D - white dwarfs).
