The transmitter at the radio station sends out the signal, much like how the axons of neurons transmit signals to other cells. The antenna on a car picks up the signal, much like how dendrites on a neuron receive signals from other cells. Therefore, the correct comparison would be axons as the transmitter and dendrites as the receiver, making choice D the most accurate option.
