The electrons will move from A to B but the electric current will move from B to A.
Electrons flow in the opposite direction to the current (conventional current).

The answer given i.e., the electron will move towards B is correct. Some of you are confused because you might be thinking that whenever you solve a circuit then in that case the electrons moved from higher 2 lower potential but this is the conventional method.

Electrons act opposite to the direction of current, hence if current flows from high potential to low potential then electrons flow from low potential to high potential.

Electric potential will always move from higher potential to lower potential.
So answer is B.
So answer is B.

Current moves from high potential to low potential i.e., B to A.
And electrons move opposite to current i.e., A to B.

Potential transfer from high to low but current reverse. So it's B.

Electrons moves from low potential to high potential but in the case of current it will be reverse. So the answer will be B only.

Conventionally, direction of current is from high potential to low potential which is called conventional current and electronic current is always opposite to conventional current.

Electron will move towards point B because due to higher potential the sign on point B should be + and it will attract the electron toward itself.
