Solution

The correct option is C The bulb B1 will become less brighter
Equivalent resistance in a parallel combination is less than all it's constituents.
Therefore removing anyone of B2, B3 will increase the overall resistance of the circuit decreasing the current and as a result the brightness of B1.
