(a) more Na+ outside and less K+ inside
(b) K+ outside and Na+ inside
(c) charged proteins outside and Na+ & K+ inside
(d) Na+ & K+ outside and water only inside

A.
This is because the axon must have a resting potential (-60mV). This is maintained by the Na+/K+ pump that pumps 3 Na+ ions out of the axon for every 2 K+ions pumped in.
