D, "increasing its membrane's permeability to K+"
At a specific location on the neuron's membrane, hyperpolarization occurs when the membrane potential increases, and depolarization occurs when the membrane potential decreases (more positive). When ion channels in the membrane open or close, it causes depolarization and hyperpolarization by changing which ions may enter or leave the cell.
Hyperpolarization may result from the opening of channels that allow positive ions to exit the cell or negative ions to enter. Examples include opening channels that allow Cl- or K+ to enter or exit cells, respectively.
