    A break in one wire causes all current to stop.

    If one bulb goes out, the others go out.

    A series circuit is one in which the current flows from device to device in series. Think of a long change, the links of the chain are in series with each other. So let's take a look at the options and see what makes sense.

    They are easy to design and build.

    * This statement is quite true as regards a series circuit. But it also is an advantage, and since we're looking for disadvantages, it's a bad choice.

    They are complicated to design and build.

    * Definitely a disadvantage. But it doesn't apply to a series circuit. So another bad choice.

    A break in one wire causes all current to stop.

    * Quite true. A series circuit either works, or it doesn't. And a failure in any component will cause the circuit to not work. So this is a good choice.

    Current can flow through other branches if there is a break in one branch.

    * This is a description of a parallel circuit and doesn't apply to a series circuit, so it's a bad choice.

    If one bulb goes out, the others stay lit.

    * Another item for parallel circuits. So another bad choice.

    If one bulb goes out, the others go out.

    * Yes, this is true. Failure of any part of a series circuit will cause the entire circuit to fail. So this is a correct choice.
