B) by an increase in the frequency of action potentials generated by an afferent neuron
C) by an increase in intensity of the action potentials generated by an afferent neuron
D) by an increase in the frequency of action potentials generated, as well as the numbers of afferent neurons generating action potentials, but not the intensity of action potentials
