In the resting stage of a neuron,the concentration gradient is generated due to:

  • A
    High concentration of $K^+$ and low concentration of $Na^+$ inside the axon
  • B
    High concentration of $Na^+$ and low concentration of $K^+$ inside the axon
  • C
    Low concentration of $Na^+$ outside the axon
  • D
