Solution

The correct option is B
False

In parallel combination, there are multiple paths for current to flow as shown . Therefore, current drawn from source divides accordingly and hence, the current across each resistor of different value in parallel combination is not same. If the value of resistors is same in parallel combination, then the current across each resistor will be same.
