Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

positive, negative

In an external electric circuit, the current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. it is conventional that current flows in opposite direction to the flow of electric charges (electrons). therefore the direction of current flow is taken to be from positive terminal to negative terminal of the battery in external circuit.
