Solution

The correct option is C glow but less brightly
Adding Load in series reduce the voltage on each load which actually sums upto the Voltage of the Source itself.
Here in this case we added another bulb in series of the circuit Hence,
voltage on each bulb becomes, V=E2 for both thew bulbs.
where E= EMF of the battery and V= voltage Across the bulb.
and adding another bulb also introduces more resistance .
hence corrent also gets reduced.
I=VR as R becomes twice after adding another bulb.
Hence both V and I gets reduced making both the bulbs to glow dim.
