Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The reuptake of a neurotransmitter refers to when the neurotransmitter is taken back up into the axon terminal from the synaptic cleft. The axon terminal is the structure responsible for releasing neurotransmitters into the synapse, so it makes sense that the reuptake would occur within the axon terminal as well.
