Solution

The correct option is B Kirchhoff's second law is based on the conservation of energy and first law is based on conservation of charge
Kirchhoff's first law is based on the conservation of charge because sum of current entering to the junction is equal to sum of current leaving the junction. Kirchhoff's second law states that the algebraic sum of potential drops in a closed circuit is zero. So, it is based on the conservation of energy.
