This question is loaded with misleading, marginally meaningful phrases.

A 12V battery produces more current than a 1.5V battery produces,
through the same device, because the potential difference between
the terminals of the 12V battery is 8 times the potential difference
between the terminals of the 1.5V battery.

Of the choices offered, choice 'C' is the closest.  But it should say
"electrical potential", NOT "potential energy".
