The absolute refractory period is: A. The time in which our neurons absolutely cannot fire another action potential B. Voltage-gated K+ channels open, hyperpolarization occurs which takes the membrane potential further from threshold so that an AP can only occur with a very strong stimulus C. Voltage-gated Na+ channels become closed D. All of the above are true E. None of these are correct
