Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential is an electrical event that occurs when a neuron receives a stimulus that is strong enough to depolarize its membrane. During an action potential, the membrane potential rapidly depolarizes and then repolarizes due to the flow of ions across the membrane. This is why choice D, "electrical/depolarization and repolarization," is the best answer.
