The correct answer is: $8 \mathrm{~h}$
We have,
$\begin{aligned} \Delta \mathrm{U} & =\mathrm{P} \Delta \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{q} \varepsilon \\ \Delta \mathrm{t} & =\frac{\mathrm{q} \varepsilon}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{(80 \mathrm{~A} . \mathrm{h}) \times(12 \mathrm{~V})}{120 \mathrm{~W}}=8 \mathrm{~h}\end{aligned}$
