Solution

The correct option is B electric potential difference
The amount of work done in moving a unit electric charge from a point to another in an electric field is called the electric potential difference between the two points.
$P o t e n t i a l d i f f e r e n c e = \frac{W o r k d o n e}{E l e c t r i c C h a r g e}$
$\Rightarrow V = \frac{W}{Q}$
