A) If one travels around a closed path adding the voltages for which one enters the negative reference and subtracting the voltages for which one enters the positive reference, the total is zero.

Explanation:

Kirchhoff's voltage law deals with the conservation of energy when the current flows in a closed-loop path.

It states that the algebraic sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is always zero.

In other words, the algebraic sum of all the potential differences through a loop must be equal to zero.
