Fisher · Answer 1

C) is correct

series circuit - in the same path : current flow on one path so they are equal on each component and equal to the source's. voltage on each components may be different.

parallel circuit - between same nodes : voltage of the components are equal and equal to the source's. current on each components may be different.
