A neuroscientist is testing the effect of a drug called Anium. Experiments show that Anium has a very negative charge, and all neurons are permeable to Anium. If Anium is injected to the inside of a resting neuron, in what direction would Anium flow resulting from diffusion and electrostatic forces?

A) Anium would flow out of the cell resulting from diffusion foces and Anium would flow into the cell resulting from electrostatic forces.
B) Anium would flow into the cell resulting from both diffusion and electrostatic forces.
C) Anium would flow out of the cell resulting from both diffusion and electrostatic forces.
D) Anium would flow into the cell resulting from diffusion foces and Anium would flow out of the cell resulting from electrostatic forces.
