Answer : The correct option is,
V=k(q)/(d)

Explanation :

Electric potential : It is defined as the amount of work needed to move a unit of positive charge from a point charge (reference) to a specific point inside the field.

Mathematically it is written as :


V=k(q)/(d)

where,

V = electric potential

q = electric charge

d = distance between the reference point and the specific point

k =
(1)/(4\pi \epsilon_o) = k = constant

Hence, the formula is,
V=k(q)/(d)
