Answer: B) Bound to the cell membrane of neurons

Explanation:

The cellular prion protein (PrPC) is a cell surface protein expressed in a variety of different organs and tissues with high expression levels in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

PrPC attaches to the outer surface of the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor but researchers have proposed roles in cell signalling and formation of synapses.
