Which one of the following describes the amount of resistance electricity encounters?

The Ohm (symbol: Ω) is the standard international (SI) unit of electrical resistance. Resistance is the measure of the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. According to Ohm's Law, one ohm is the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces a current of one ampere. Therefore, "Ohm" is the term that describes the amount of resistance electricity encounters.

B. Ampere: The ampere (A) is the unit of electric current, which measures the rate of flow of electric charge.

C. Volts: The volt (V) is the unit of electric potential difference or voltage, which represents the "pressure" that drives the electric current.

D. Watts: The watt (W) is the unit of power, representing the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or consumed.
