The correct option is D. degradation on the postsynaptic membrane.

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is involved in the transmission of signals across a synapse. There are two kinds of impulse transmission- chemical synapse and electrical synapse.

Acetylcholine is for chemical transmission. When an action potential reaches the pre-synaptic membrane it causes the calcium-gated channels to open. When these gates open the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released and it binds to the receptor on the postsynaptic membrane.

When acetylcholine binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic membrane there is an increase in sodium and potassium ions permeability and it causes depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane.
