• B)Intracellular resistance doesn't really affect conduction speed that much.
• C)Membrane resistance decreases linearly while intracellular resistance decreases by the square of the radius.
• D)Intracellular resistance decreases linearly while membrane resistance decreases by the square of the radius.
