The action potential in a pseudounipolar sensory neuron generally first occurs at

Athe peripheral dendrite closest to the distal axon terminal
Bthe peripheral dendrite closest to the cell body
Cthe central process terminal
Dthe cell body

Correct answer: B. the peripheral dendrite closest to the cell body

In a pseudounipolar sensory neuron, the action potential generally first occurs at the peripheral dendrite closest to the cell body. This is because the dendrites receive stimuli and transmit them towards the cell body, where the action potential is generated.
