As we have learnt.

When a stimulus (may be mechanical, electrical or chemical) is applied to the membrane of the nerve fibre, its permeability changes and sodium-potassium pump stop operating. Sodium ions rush inside and potassium ions rush outside. This results in the positive charge inside (axoplasm) and negative charge outside (ECF). The stimulus-gated channels are opened by the stimulus and voltage-gated sodium channels are opened by the threshold stimulus. The polarity of the axon membrane that is now conducting the nerve impulse is called the action potential (+30\: mV). Such a membrane is called depolarised.

Hence, the correct answer is option b.
