Answer:The correct option is D (charge)

Explanation:

Car batteries are often rated in ampere-hours. And this information designate the amount of charge the battery can supply. To prove the above statement, ampere is the international system of Units (SI) for electric current. It represents a flow of one coulomb of electrical charge across a surface per second (C/s). Therefore, if One coulomb is equal to one second then one hour (60x60) = 3600 C.

A Car battery is are designed in such a way to supply automobiles electrical charges through electrochemical means. It is an example of a wet cell battery filled with an electrolyte called sulfuric acid solution.
