Best answer

Answer: 3. post-synaptic membrane

Key idea: At a chemical synapse the neurotransmitter crosses the cleft and binds to receptors on the next cell.

These receptors are on the post-synaptic membrane. Synaptic vesicles are on the pre-synaptic side and release the neurotransmitter; they carry no receptor sites for it. Answer: (3).
