Solution

A is False but R is True.

Explanation:

The cyton (cell body) processes signals rather than collecting them, as specialised dendrites are the structures responsible for receiving information. At the same time, it is factually correct that nerve fibres can be either myelinated or non-myelinated, depending on the presence of a myelin sheath. Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason stands as a true statement.
