Solution

The correct option is B Voltage drop across each appliance is same.
Electrical appliances are connected in a parallel arrangement in a house circuit because each appliance gets full voltage as resistance in a parallel arrangement is low. If one appliance fuses, it does not affect the working of other appliances. We can use one appliance without using other appliances.
