Answer: The source of voltage difference is a battery.
Explanation :
We know that the electric current is defined as the electric charge flowing per unit time. To know the current flowing in a circuit it is required to know the voltage and resistance.
Batteries are the source of potential difference in a circuit. A battery has two terminals. The positive terminal of the battery is known as the cathode and the negative terminal is known as the anode.
So, the correct option is (c) " batteries ".
