Given that the current is I = 5 A

The resistance in the circuit is


R=\text{ 2 }\Omega

We have to find the potential across the battery, V.

According to Ohm's law, the potential across the battery will be


V=IR

Substituting the values, the potential will be


\begin{gathered} V=5A*2\Omega \\ =10\text{ V} \end{gathered}

Thus, option A is correct.
