Solution

The correct option is C Parallel
Potential difference is same across each resistor when they are connected in parallel.
Components connected in parallel are connected so the same voltage is applied to each component. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.
The given figure is the diagrammatic representation of 2 resistors $R_{1} a n d R_{2}$ connected in parallel.
