    Step-by-step solution
    Step 1 of 5

    Electrolytes are important components in human body. Electrical signaling and communication in the body is possible because of the electrolytes.

    Step 2 of 5

    Different ions (cations and anions) are responsible for maintaining the cell membrane potential. Movement of these ions across the membrane generates action potential. The cations that are present include K+ (potassium), sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca++) etc. The anions that are present include Cl-, HCO3- etc.

    Step 3 of 5

    The answers given in options (A), (C), (D) and (E) are correct. Therefore, options (A), (C), (D) and (E) are not the correct answers.

    Step 4 of 5

    K+ (potassium) is a cation and not an anion. Anions have extra electrons and therefore have negative charge. Potassium being a cation has a positive charge – K+. Thus, K- is not correct.

    Step 5 of 5

    Hence, the correct answer is option.
