Action potentials are normally initiated at the axon hillock because
 a. there is a particularly high density of voltage-gated sodium channels there.
  b. threshold potential is lower there than at other sites along the plasma membrane.
  c. activation of sodium channels at the axon hillock results in a particularly strong inward current and consequent depolarization.
  d. all of these.
  e. none of these.
