Solution

The correct answer is:

b. Potential difference

Explanation: In a battery, the accumulation of electrons on one terminal and positive ions on the other terminal creates a potential difference, also known as voltage. This potential difference is what drives the flow of electric current from one terminal to the other when the battery is connected in a circuit.
