Answer 1

The correct answer is DC.

Concept:

Direct current
- Direct current (DC) is a type of electrical current in which the flow of electric charge (current) is unidirectional, moving in a constant direction.
Alternating current
- Alternating current (AC) is a type of electrical current in which the flow of electric charge (current) changes direction periodically.

Explanation:

Batteries, whether they are common alkaline batteries, lithium-ion batteries, or others, typically provide direct current.
Direct current (DC) is a type of electrical current in which the flow of electric charge (current) is unidirectional, moving in a constant direction.
The battery generates a constant current value that does not change over time.
Because a battery has two terminals, one positive and one negative, current flows only from the positive to the negative terminal.
Direct current has the property of only flowing in one direction, from positive to negative.

Thus, the electric current received from the battery is DC.
