C. The signal is transferred to an adjacent cell where it is interpreted.

The correct answer is option C. The signal is transferred to an adjacent cell where it is interpreted.

The cell signals are produced in many forms. The intercellular signals, which rely on the receptors to produce their effects, are generally secreted in the close proximity of the receptor cells. These signal molecules are transferred to the adjacent cells, where it binds to the receptor and binding of the molecules to the receptor causes the activation of the recipient cells.
