Correct Answer: Option B — 6 volts

Wiring identical voltage sources in a parallel configuration increases current capacity while keeping the voltage output equal to that of a single cell. Connecting multiple 6-volt lead-acid batteries in parallel results in a total bank output of 6 volts, conforming to parallel circuit fundamentals.
