Solution

The correct option is C Determine their values in ohm
Components and wires are coded with colors to identify their value and function. The colors brown, red, green, blue, and violet are used as tolerance codes on 5-band resistors only.
So,Resistors are generally colour coded to determine their values in ohm.
Therefore, C is correct option.
