Answer
A
electric potential
B
electric potential difference
C
electric field
D
electric field line

Explanation

Electric potential is defined as electric potential energy divided by charge: V = U/q. Therefore, the quantity described is electric potential, choice B. Electric potential difference is the change in electric potential between two points, rather than the potential at a point.
