Answer

C. The traditional flow of current is positive to negative and the flow of electrons is the opposite

Lamont Mann · Answer 2

c. The traditional flow of current is positive to negative and the flow of electrons is the opposite.

Explanation:

By convention, the electron carries negative charges, so it would flow from the negative side to the positive side. The current, by convention, would have the opposite direction, from positive to negative.
