B) threshold potential was reached
C) resting potential was reached

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential is triggered in a neuron when the threshold potential is reached. This is the minimum level of depolarization required for the neuron to fire an action potential. Once this threshold is reached, an influx of sodium ions into the neuron causes further depolarization and the generation of an action potential.
