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).

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

Current will flow higher potential to lower potential but we know that electron always flows in the opposite to the direction of 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.
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.
