The option that best describes what happens when a flatworm's eyespot detects a stimulus is:
**An action potential is stimulated in a neuron.**
The eyespots of flatworms are basic light-sensitive structures that can detect changes in light intensity. When these eyespots detect a stimulus (such as light), it triggers a response in the associated sensory neurons, leading to the generation of action potentials.
