In the depolarization step of action potential where the membrane resting potential is reversed by the rush of sodium ions into a neuron.

A membrane potential shift from -70mV to +30mV for a limited period of time is known as an action potential.

The moving action potential has three stages:

1) The depolarization step, where sodium ions rush into a neuron and reverse the membrane resting potential; and

2) repolarization, which is a mechanism that restores the resting voltage of the membrane and the ionic concentration in the cell, is caused by the closure of the voltage-gated sodium channels and the opening of the potassium channels.

3) Hyperpolarization, when excessive potassium ion efflux occurs as a result of some open potassium channels increasing potassium permeability and causing a drop in the membrane potential.

4) The action potential, which is a transient reversal of membrane potential that travels through the axon, comprises three phases that are described above.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

this is very debatable but i think C mostly because of oil spills that happen due to the carelessness of the oil companies but also B where plastic from 20+ years ago hound the living organisms of the ocean.

but without a doubt oil drilling takes the cake when oil spills happen they actually block the sunrays to hit beyond their layer since it forms immiscible soln with the ocean.
