Electron will move towords lower potential that is A

No you are wrong point b has more electric field intensity than point a so the force acting on electron is more in case of b than a i think you have a doubt why more electric field intensity it means the amount of work done to bring the charge from any point to b it opposes more electric field strength to bring the electron so more work has to be done i.e more potential so point b has more electric field intensity.

Electron will move towards the high potential i.e. B point because if there is any potential difference the elecric line of forces terminate from higher to lower potential.

Current has a tendency to travel from high potetial region to low potential. Its direction is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Hence the electrons flow from low to potential region.

A has lower potential (we can denote it by -)
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+)
As electrons flow from low to high potential region (or in easy terms the opposite + attracts - )
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+)
As electrons flow from low to high potential region (or in easy terms the opposite + attracts - )

Electron always flow from lower potential to higher potential and in the opposite to that of electric current.

Flow of almost every thing is happening from higher potential to lower electrons also.

A has lower potential (-)
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+)
so the answer will be B..........
B has high potential (+)
Electron (-)will move towards B (+)
so the answer will be B..........

Lower electric potential means there are (more) electrons or negative charges and Higher potential means there are more holes or positive charges present there. So electron will move towards higher potential.
According to the question, point A is at a lower electrical potential than point B. An electron between them on the line joining them will move towards B.

The point A have a lower potential than B so electric field of A is lower than B so we assume that point A have negative charge and point B a positive charge and we know that electron go from A to B.
