the correct answer is E

Explanation:

In the sum of contractions, the action potentials are sent more frequently but not with greater intensity, this is because in the motor plate the neurotransmitters do not cease and continue to bind to their receptors, promoting the stimulation of muscle fiber, once the muscle fiber contracts, before returning to its depolarized or resting moment a new contraction begins, some researchers maintain that these contractions are stronger but that the action potential that stimulates them does not refer to more power.
