• B) the action potential will be the same size and propagated at the same speed as if the depolarizing current was applied at threshold levels
• C) the action potential occurs more quickly and is larger
• D) the action potential will be smaller and propagated slightly slower than if the depolarizing current was applied at threshold levels
