• A) because the Na⁺ concentration is much lower outside the cell than it is inside
• B) because the Na⁺ ions are actively transported by the sodium-potassium pump into the cell
• C) because the Na⁺ concentration is much higher outside the cell than it is inside, and the Na⁺ ions are attracted to the negatively charged interior
• D) because the Na⁺ concentration is much higher outside the cell than it is inside, and the Na⁺ ions are actively transported by the sodium-potassium pump into the cell
