Explanation:
Most of the cell surface receptors and glycoproteins. These glycoproteins have active sites that recognize specific signals, like hormones, that initiate secondary signaling pathways inside of the cell, in response to the external signal. This is how cells respond to environmental stimuli.
If a change in glycoproteins makes them unable to bind signaling molecules (like hormones) or makes them permanently bind these molecules, there will definitely be a defect in how the cell responds to external stimuli. The cell will be, for example, be unable to respond to insulin in case of elevated blood sugar levels as is the case with diabetics.

The serotonin binds to a G-protein -coupled receptor and activates a G-subunit . This results in activation of PKA and closing of the potassium channels. This will subsequently decrease the influx of potassium ions into the cell, and lead to depolarization of the cell. This changes the membrane potential of the cell.
Aplysia are sea slugs which fall under the category of mollusks. Serotonin is a hormone which is responsible for the transfer of electrical signals from the brain to different parts. In this particular mollusk, serotonin was studied to find that it is an essential neurotransmitter that is responsible for the maintenance of synaptic plasticity in the neurons. Synaptic plasticity is the feature which is essential for the communication of neurons. This is the modification which occurs at the synapses during the transmission of synapses. Without this activity, the transmission of signals would be impossible.

I believe it’s B. Dont take my word for it
