The correct option is
A 16
According to the kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) - the sum of all voltages around a closed loop in any circuit must be equal to zero.

Using Kirchoff's law's sign conventions as shown below:

Taking the direction of the loop anticlockwise and starting from battery
V1 to apply KVL
V1−I×R3−V3+V2−I×R2−I×R1=0
5−1×3−5+V2−1×8−I×5=0
5−3−5+V2−8−5=0
−3−5+V2−8=0
V2=16V
