Answer:

e. all of these choices are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell in human body becomes polarized by storing and moving different types of the electrically-charged molecules on the different sides of cell membrane.

Cell polarity corresponds to the spacial differences in structure, shape, and the function within the cell. All types of the cell almost exhibit some polarity, that enables the cells to accomplish specified and specialized functions. Some examples of the polarized cells are epithelial cell with the apical-basal polarity, neurons in which the signals propagate, etc.

Polarization is existence of the opposite electrical charges on the either side of a cell membrane. Hence, a polarized cell has a charge imbalance across its membrane which is also responsible for some membrane potential which is the difference in electric potential between interior and exterior of a cell.

Hence, option e is correct which states that all the options are correct.
