In a baseball game, the batters (similar to dendrites) send the ball (similar to signals) flying, while the catchers (similar to axons) catch the ball and send it back to the pitcher (similar to synapses). Similarly, dendrites receive signals from other neurons and axons send signals to other neurons through synapses, making choice D the best fit.
