Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Nasty, but doable.

I = 2 amps

R = 8 ohms

V = I * R

V = 2 * 8

V = 16 volts.

========

The 4 ohm resistor sees the same voltage -- 16 volts.

V = 16

R = 4ohms

I = V/R

I = 16/4

I = 4 amps.

The current seen by the unknown resistor R is

It = 4 amps + 2 amps

It = 6 amps

Answer A.
