    answer is A : attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source

    I think, that the "hole"moves as it captures a free electron leaving another hole in a slightly different place. The electron leaving leaves a net + charge, which is attracted to the negative terminal. Because the "hole" behaves as a positive charge it is attracted towards the negative terminal.
