Solution

The correct option is A action potential
In unmyelinated neurons there is no insulation to prevent the leakage of sodium and potassium ions at any point of the axon. Therefore, there is a constant efflux and influx of ions. So voltage-gated channels are present at regular intervals to ensure that action potential is regenerated. The action potential can now move down an axon.
