The β-conotoxin produced by the cone snail inhibits the inactivation of voltage gated sodium channels. Therefore it would:
A. prevent the passive response to stimulus by neurons.
B. prevent the inflow of sodium ions during the rising phase of an action potential.
C. allow the continued inflow of sodium ions during the falling phase of the action potential prolonging the depolarization
D. prevent the outflow of potassium ions during the falling phase of the action potential.
E. make it impossible to recover from hyperpolarization.
