In the image linked, neurotransmitters are typically stored in the synaptic vesicles located in the axon terminal of a neuron. These vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft when an action potential reaches the terminal.

Based on typical neuron structure, the location where neurotransmitters are stored immediately prior to use is usually:

D. Area D

Explanation: Area D is likely to represent the axon terminal or presynaptic terminal where neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles before being released into the synaptic cleft.
