Answer:

D. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current electricity is caused by flowing negatively charged particles. Current flows in a direction opposite the that of the charged particles.

The negatively charged particles can be electrons or ions in solutions.

As the electrons flows, current is generated in the opposite direction.

The potential difference is what drives the current and it is dependent on the available energy in the cell.
