A) Nerve fibre can be excited under anaerobic conditions.
B) Nerve conduction proceeds in the absence of oxygen and development of action potential does not depend on metabolism immediately.
C) In the absence of oxygen, action potential can be generated and nerve conduction proceeds, but later, it fails as the \[N{{a}^{+}}\] pump cannot operate.
