Answer: The answer is B- Diffusion of calcium ions through NMDA receptors.

Explanation:

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a painful sensation experienced after the loss or amputation of a limb. The limb is no longer there but the individual can still feel real and severe pains in the limb. This occurs soon after surgery.

NMDA is a receptor for Glutamate which is an excitatory neurotransmitter. The activation of NMDA receptors are associated with hyperalgesia which is an abnormally heightened sensitivity to pain.
