When the electrical charge of the neuron changes to around minus 50 millivolts, it will reach its threshold for firing. This means that the neuron has accumulated enough excitatory signals to trigger an action potential, which is the electrical signal that travels along the axon and allows for communication between neurons. The other options are not correct because there is no such thing as a synaptic potential or a negative after-potential, and the idea of a fusion level for firing is not well-defined in neuroscience.
