Question
**Action Potentials and Extracellular Sodium Concentration**

This image presents a figure of three action potential graphs labeled A, B, and C, each showcasing different resting membrane potentials:

- **A:** Resting at -60 mV
- **B:** Resting at -90 mV
- **C:** Resting at -70 mV

The question accompanying the figure is:  
*The spike height of this/these action potential(s) would depend on the concentration of extracellular sodium.*  

Options provided are:  
- A and B
- A only
- B only
- C only
- B and C

This question is designed to test the understanding of how sodium ion concentration affects the characteristics of neuronal action potentials, particularly the spike height which is crucial for nerve signal transmission.
