If a neurophysiologist applies onchidal a naturally occurring acetylcholinesterase inhibitor produced by the mollusk Onchidella binneyi) to a synapse, what would you expect to happen?

B) decrease in the frequency of action potentials
C) paralysis of muscle tissue
D) convulsions due to constant muscle stimulation
E) no effect
