Answer 2

An action potential has three phases: depolarization, overshoot, repolarization. So depolarization

Answer 3

There are two more states of the membrane potential related to the action potential. The first one is hypopolarization which precedes the depolarization, while the second one is hyperpolarization, which follows the repolarization Hopefully this helped
