Reuben Calhoun · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter B

Explanation: The white matter is formed by a portion of neuron extensions, especially axons. As the axons of some neurons are surrounded by myelin, this substance gives a whitish appearance to the white matter.

White and gray matter are found in the central nervous system, more precisely in the brain (a part of the brain) and the spinal cord. In each of these regions, they are arranged in different locations.
