Answer

The correct answer is **the all-or-none response**.The all-or-none principle describes the phenomenon where a nerve or muscle fiber either responds completely to a stimulus above a certain threshold or doesn't respond at all. There's no graded response. Once the threshold is reached, the action potential fires with a fixed magnitude.
