According to me the electron moves towards B because electron moves towards (+)charge.

Current moves from higher potential to lower potential and the flow of electron is opposite to the flow of current that's why electrons move from lower to higher potential.

At point A potential will be low means electrons would be in excess n +ve charge would be in deficit. And opposite will be the case at B where electrons are less n +ve charge is much. So just like a general case electron will obviously be attracted towards more +ve charge.

Electrons will move from high potential to low. But I think there is use any convention.

It's because of the Kirchhoff's 2nd law.

Conventionally, electron moves opposite to the direction of current, direction of current is from high potential to low potential.

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.

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.

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.
