The cell body of a neuron is known as :
Cyton
A neuron (nerve cell) has three parts: the cell body, the dendrites that carry impulses towards the cell body, and the axon that carries impulses away from it.
The cell body contains the nucleus, cytoplasm and Nissl granules, and it is called the cyton (also the soma or perikaryon).
Neuroplasm is the cytoplasm of the neuron, axoplasm is the cytoplasm inside the axon, and the neurilemma is the outer sheath formed by Schwann cells around the axon; none of them is the cell body.
Cyton option is correct.
