Built around the concept in “The functional unit of the nervous system is:”, this bilingual General Science item checks whether a learner can connect a scientific term with its exact property, mechanism or function. The verified answer is Neuron.
Option C, Neuron, matches the evidence in the stem. Neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Physics requires attention to the measured quantity, governing principle and unit. The alternatives Alveolus, Axon and Nephron are legitimate scientific terms, but each belongs to a different function, property, material or context. If the topic involves the human body, check organ and function; in chemistry, check composition and reaction; in physics, check quantity and unit; and in environmental science, check layer and process.

Use the defining property and mechanism from physics.
Alveolus, Axon, Nephron belong to different functions, properties or contexts.
Connect “The functional unit of the nervous system is:” with Neuron and the supporting mechanism.
General Science covers basic concepts in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science. It is an important section in competitive exams like SSC CGL, UPSC Prelims, Railway NTPC, and Defence exams. Questions include scientific laws, inventions, human body systems, chemical reactions, and everyday science phenomena. NCERT Science books from Class 6 to 10 are recommended.
Newton's Three Laws of Motion: 1) First Law (Law of Inertia) - An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. 2) Second Law - Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma). 3) Third Law - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws are fundamental to Physics and frequently asked in SSC CGL, Railway, and NDA exams.
