In a 120-volt circuit, 120 joules of
A)charge move each second, which makes up the current,
B)energy are given to each unit of charge that makes up the current,
C)energy are given to each unit of resistance in the circuit,
And if the current is 1 ampere, then
D)1 unit of charge per second passes any point in the circuit.
E)120 units of charge per second pass any point in the circuit.
F)the resistance of the circuit is 1 ohm.

Option A is incorrect because joule measures energy, not charge. 
Option C is incorrect because the energy is not given to the resistance, but rather to the charge carriers (electrons) that move through the resistance. 
Option D is correct because current is the rate of flow of charge, which is the definition of an ampere. So, in a 1-ampere circuit, 1 unit of charge (1 coulomb) passes any point in the circuit every second. 
Option E is incorrect because 120 volts is the potential difference across the circuit, not the amount of charge flowing. 
Option F is incorrect because the resistance of the circuit cannot be determined from the given information.
