Solution

The correct option is B Energy
The electron volt (symbol eV; also written electronvolt) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.602 $\times$ 10 $^{- 19}$ joule (SI unit J).

By definition, it is the amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of one volt.

Hence, the correct option is $B$
