Between neurons, information is transmitted chemically through the release and reception of neurotransmitters. So, the correct analogy is electrical: chemical. Option A is very close, but the order of electrical and chemical is reversed. Option B is incorrect because mechanical transmission is not involved in neuronal communication. Option D is also incorrect.
