Given is the diagrammatic representation of impulse conduction through an axon (at points A and B). View the diagram and arrange the steps of impulse conduction

I. The polarity of the membrane at site A is reversed and depolarized,  the outer surface becomes negatively charged and the innerside becomes positively charged, generating nerve impulse

II. A stimulus causes disturbance to the membrane at site of A nerve fibre resulting in leakage of   ions inside the nerve fibre

III. On the outer surface, current flows from site B to site A to complete the circuit of current flow. Hence, the polarity at the site is reversed, and an action potential is generated at site B. The impulse (action potential) generated at site A arrives at site B. The sequence is repeated along the length of the axon and consequently the impulse is conducted

IV. Immediately ahead, the axon ( site B) membrane has a positive charge on the outer surface and a negative charge on its inner surface. As a result, a current flows on the inner surface from site A to site B

The correct option is

a)

I  II  IV  III

b)

II  I  III  IV

c)

II  I  IV  III

d)

I  IV  III  II
