Solution

The correct option is A Refractory
The refractory period is the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once it returns to its resting state following excitation. It is a period during which a nerve or muscle is incapable of responding to stimulation, immediately following a previous stimulation.
