Potential dividers — practice question

The diagram shows a potential divider circuit. By changing the position of the contact X, it can be used to produce a variable potential difference across terminals P and Q. What are the limits of this potential difference?

  • A$0\,\text{V}$ and $5\,\text{V}$
  • B$0\,\text{V}$ and $20\,\text{V}$
  • C$0\,\text{V}$ and $25\,\text{V}$
  • D$5\,\text{V}$ and $25\,\text{V}$
