Explanation :

An electrical circuit can be either connected in series or parallel.

Series combination: The current flowing in each resistor is the same and the equivalent resistance is given by :

$R{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+.................+R_n$

Parallel combination: The voltage for all components in the parallel combination is the same. The equivalent resistance is given by :

(1)/(R_(eq))=(1)/(R_(1))+(1)/(R_(2))+(1)/(R_(3))......................+(1)/(R_(n))

So, our of given options the correct one is (b) because the current flowing in both the resistors is the same.
