Answer:

It's A, I believe.

Explanation:

There are more positives outside (Na+) than inside (K+); and more negatives inside (proteins).

The resting potential of a resting neuron is caused by a higher concentration of Na+ on the outside of the cell making it more positive outside. So, it's A.

What do you mean by Resting potential?

Resting potential may be defined as a condition of the imbalance of electrical charge that exists between the interior of electrically agitated neurons and their surroundings.

During resting potential, the passive efflux of K+ ion is more than the influx of Na+ ions. This imbalance makes the inside of the cell more negative as compared to the outside.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A.
