A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit that has a number of different paths for current to flow through. If you wanted to pass through every component in a parallel circuit you would have to travel down every separate branch. In a parallel circuit if one component fails the electrical circuit may still function as the current has other paths

From the options:

b is false

c is false

d is not necessarily true

Therefore, the answer is a
