Solution

The correct option is A
r/2

All the resistors are in parallel because B is located on a conducting wire hence all points on this circular wire will be at same potential. So we can see that all the resistors have potential difference V_AB across them hence all are parallel. Net resistance = 1/2r + 1/2r + 1/2r + 1/2r
