• B) decreasing the resistance and increasing the capacitance, allowing the action potential to "jump" over the myelinated area.
• C) increasing the resistance and increasing the capacitance, allowing the action potential to "jump" over the myelinated area.
• D) increasing the diameter of the neuron.
