The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Nerve Impulse Conduction**: - Nerve impulses are conducted through neurons, which undergo changes in membrane potential. 2. **Resting Membrane Potential**: - The neuron is typically at a resting membrane potential of approximately -70 mV. 3. **Depolarization Phase**: - When a stimulus reaches the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions (Na⁺) to enter the neuron (influx). - This influx of sodium ions causes the membrane potential to rise from -70 mV to about +40 mV. 4. **Repolarization Phase**: - After depolarization, the sodium channels close, and potassium channels open. - Potassium ions (K⁺) move out of the neuron (efflux), which causes the membrane potential to decrease back towards the resting state. 5. **Conclusion**: - During the repolarization phase of nerve impulse conduction, the key process is the efflux of potassium ions. This movement helps restore the negative membrane potential after depolarization. ### Final Answer: At the time of conduction of a nerve impulse, the repolarization occurs with the **efflux of potassium ions**. ---
