D. either the neuron is sufficiently stimulated and an action potential occurs or it is not sufficiently stimulated and the action potential does not occur.

Explanation:

The all-or-none law referse to how if the stimulus exceeds the threshold an action porential happens and the neuron will present a complete response, if not there won't be a response at all.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
