The current will lag the voltage in AC circuit that contains both resistance and inductance.
Answer: C
Explanation
There is no inductance only circuits in reality.
The circuits containing inductance has also a lower amount of resistance.
The current flows in both resistance and inductance.
There is a drop in the total voltage in resistance and inductance giving rise to the voltage applied in the coil when connected in a series.
An example being inductance coil an AC circuit connected to both resistance and inductance in series.
From the vector diagram, this conclusion can be drawn.
