The correct option is (C) The neuron’s membrane voltage becomes more positive.
The resting neuron has a voltage across its membrane which is called the resting membrane potential. There is a concentration gradient of ions across the membrane when the neuron is in the resting state.
Inside the membrane the concentration of K⁺ and organic anions are more. Outside the membrane the concentration of Na⁺ is more. The membrane is much more permeable to K⁺ than Na⁺ .
The cell’s inside is more negative than the outside when the membrane is hyperpolarized. In neurons the resting membrane potential is close to the equilibrium potential for K⁺.
