Take a Kirchoff voltage loop to see the effective voltage is 4V and the total resistance is 10ohms. This gives 400mA in the loop. This flows through everything since it's a series circuit.
Rate of energy is power. So the total power dissipated in the resistors is I^2R=(0.4^)2(10)=1.6W
For C and D know that the 12V battery is charging the 8V. So electric energy is produced in the 12V battery at a rate of P=IV. In the 8V, electric energy is converted to chemical energy because it's charging. The power here has the same sign as a load, not a source. Hope that helps
