Solution

The correct option is A Parallel
In Household circuits all the electrical appliances in a building should be connected in parallel with the mains due to following reasons.
i. Each appliance gets connected to 220V supply for its normal working.
ii. Each electrical appliance has a separate switch and a separate fuse connected in the live wire so that switching on or off in a room has no effect on other lamps in the same building. Hence, option (B) is correct
