Answer:

The action potential will C. undergo no changes in strength, speed, or duration.

Explanation:

The action potential is when the neuron sends the information via the axon to further transmit information. It is <em>triggered by an electrical signal</em> within the neuron but it will have no changes whatsoever in strength, speed or duration if the electrical signal's magnitude is doubled; it will remain the same.
