Solution

The correct option is C voltage
Henry Cavendish observed two different properties of electricity as strength of electricity and amount of electricity. He understood that not only the amount of electricity matters, but its intensity is also an important quantity. Later on, the amount of electricity is termed as current and the intensity of electricity is termed as voltage.
