C)threshold for firing.
D)fusion level for firing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The threshold for firing, or action potential threshold, is the critical level to which a neuron's membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential. This is typically around -50 to -55 millivolts. When this threshold is reached, voltage-gated ion channels open, leading to rapid depolarization and the generation of an action potential.
