A

$Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ ions

B

$CO^{3++}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions

C

$Ca^{++}$ and $Mg^{++}$ ions

D

$Ca^{+4}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions

Answer

$Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ ions

Explanation

Solution

Potential difference across resting membrane is negatively charged. This is due to differential distribution of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ ions.
