The correct answer is:
B. The voltage doubles only.
When you double the number of batteries in series in a circuit, you effectively double the total voltage of the circuit. If the resistance remains constant, the current will increase according to Ohm's law (V = IR). However, the fundamental change occurring here is that the voltage doubles.
