Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Action potential refers to the generation of electrical activity due to the influx and efflux of ions in the cell.

The cell which transmits the action potential is known as the neuron and the neuron maintains the membrane potential at -70 mv. The influx of sodium ions causes depolarization when it crosses the threshold value.  

The generated action potential now travels in the neuron through its long tubular structure called an axon.  The axon transmits the signal from the cell body towards the axon terminal and thus is known as the down the axon.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Such type of stimulus that is trigger by the neutral in nature is called a conditioned stimulus such as the sound of the bell and some other. Such type of stimulus that is biologically potent is called an unconditional stimulus such as the taste of food and some other things. When the biologically effective stimulus is used with neutral stimulus then the classical conditions are formed that are used in the learning process.
