Answer:
This is the threshold. If the neuron does not reach this critical threshold level, then no action potential will fire. ... Action potentials are caused when different ions cross the neuron membrane. A stimulus first causes sodium channels to open.

The neuron won't fire in the given conditions.
Threshold level refers to the minimum quantity required for a process to occur or task to complete. Quantity below the threshold level will be unable to carry out the process.
Neurons are cells of nerve system responsible or carrying information to and fro between brain and different parts of body. They do so by carrying out nerve impulses.
In humans, threshold for nerve impulses to act is -55 to -66 mV.
