The electrons move from higher to lower electric potential so if an electron is added it moves towards B.

A positive charged ion moves from high potential to low potential. But a negatively charged ion means electron moves from low potential to high potential.

Current flow is always opposite to electron flow. The Current direction is from high potential to low potential. And electron flow is from low potential to high potential.

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

As the electrons will flow from(-) low potential region to high potential region so it will A(-)will move towards B(+). Thus option B is correct.

Point a is in the state of rest but point b is in the state of motion.

Electron will move towords lower potential that is A

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

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