Neither A nor B

Explanation:

Reserve capacity is the number of minutes that a new, fully charged battery can discharge continuously and maintain a terminal voltage equal to or greater than 1.75 volts per cell.

An ampere-hour is an electric charge unit and its abbreviation is Ah.

It measures the amount of electric charge flowing through a battery in the case that amount supplies a current of 1 amp for 1 hour.
