The correct response is:

The electrons flow out of the negative end of the battery, through the wires of the circuit, and back into the positive end of the battery.

In an electric circuit, electrons move from the negative terminal of the power source, through the circuit (including any devices), and return to the positive terminal. While it's important to note that conventional current is described as flowing from positive to negative, the actual flow of electrons is from negative to positive.
