According to Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), the algebraic sum of currents entering and leaving a junction must be zero. Applying KCL at junction S1U1B0, we get: iS1U1B10 + iS1U1B11 = iS1U1B12 + iS1U1B0. Rearranging the terms, we get: iS1U1B11 = iS1U1B10 - iS1U1B12. Therefore, the correct option is D.
