Answer»

Correct answer is (d) hydrogen

The explanation: Sodium (Na^+), Potassium (K^+), and Chlorine (Cl^–) are the principal ions INVOLVED with the phenomena of producing cell POTENTIALS. Na+ is present outside the cell membrane and creates a positively CHARGED environment outside the cell membrane. Cl^– is present inside the cell membrane and is RESPONSIBLE for the negative environment inside the cell membrane.
