The repolarization phase of an action potential is due to

A
Increasing sodium permability and increasing potassium permeability
B
Increasing sodium permeability and decreasing potassium permeability
C
Decreasing sodium permeability and an immediate increasing potassium permeability
D
Decreasing sodium permeability and a delayed increase potassium permeability
High-Yield Explanation
There is a decrease in sodium permeability (inactivation of the sodium channels) and a delayed increased in potassium permeability during the repolarization phase of the action potential. The pump plays no direct role in the action potential.
