Answer :

The correct answer is: - Olfactory sensory neuron Olfactory sensory neurons are unique in that they are one of the few types of neurons that undergo noticeable turnover throughout adult life. These neurons are responsible for our sense of smell and are continuously being replaced even in adulthood. This turnover process helps to maintain the sensitivity of our sense of smell and adapt to new odors in the environment.
