Solution

The correct option is C 12 V
In the steady state, no current flow through C. So no current will pass through rightmost resistor. The current flow is shown in figure.
By apply Kirchhoff's law
for loop ABEFGA: 15=3i1+3(i1+i2)2i1+i2=5...(1) and
for loop ABCDEFGA: 15=Ri2+Ri2+R(i1+i2)i1+3i2=5...(2)

From (1) and (2), i1+3(52i1)=5
or 5i1=10i1=2A and i2=52(2)=1A
Potential across C =VDF=VDE+VEF
or VC=Ri2+R(i1+I2)=3(1)+3(2+1)=12V
