The temperature at which thermo-emf is zero is

As the temperature of the hot junction of a thermocouple is increased (while the cold junction is at a constant temperature), the thermo $e.m.f.$

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer given below.
$A$. Peltier coefficient is numerically equal to the potential difference across the junctions of the thermocouple through which current is flowing.
$B$. According to Thomson, energy is neither absorbed nor evolved at the junction of a thermocouple but is absorbed or evolved only along the lengths of both the conductors.

The two ends of a conductor are connected to a cell having an $e.m.f. \ E$ and some internal resistance. Starting from the midpoint $P$ of the conductor,moving in the direction of the current,and returning to point $P$,which of the following graphs best represents the potential $V$ versus the distance $x$ covered along the path?
