Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is d. An action potential is an all-or-nothing event.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the stimulus is prolonged there will be a greater frequency of action potentials on one neuron. With an intense and prolonged stimulus, the frequency of action potentials on many neurons will increase. This can be understood as a greater number of simultaneous action potentials.
Detailed explanation-3: -There is a maximum frequency at which a single neuron can send action potentials, and this is determined by its refractory periods.
