The correct option is C. Increase Na⁺  permeability

An excitatory postsynaptic potential(EPSP) is generated when positively charged ions flow into the postsynaptic cell due to the opening of ligand-sensitive channels. Due to more influx of sodium ions the positive charge inside the neural cell increases and so, it becomes depolarized.

The function of the sodium-potassium pump is to maintain the osmotic equilibrium and membrane potential in the cells. As the ions sodium and potassium move against the concentration gradient, this pump helps to maintain their flow.

K⁺ ions are present in greater amounts inside the cell and  Na⁺ ions are present in greater amounts on the outside. If the permeability for K⁺  increases the membrane inside will become even more negative and it will lead to hyperpolarisation of the neuron.

Polar ice cap

Explanation:

The polar ice cap is an area on the earth that extends from 66.5° north and south of the equator to the poles.

The polar ice cap is an area of very low temperature and the surface is mostly covered by ice.

  • The vast polar ice caps the earth's northern and southern limits.
  • This is the region of the Arctic and Antarctic circle.
  • This region receives diffused solar radiation from the sun.
  • This is why they rarely warm up.
  • The region of the equator has no ice because they receive direct sunlight.
  • The soil here is frozen.

Svetach [21]
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
