Q = Charge delivered by the wire = 12.0 C

t = time taken for the charge to be delivered = 4.0 s

i = current flowing in the wire due to the flow of charge = ?

Current is defined as the time rate at which charge pass through a particular point.

Current in the wire is given as

i = Q/ t

inserting the values

i = (12.0) /(4.0)

i = 3 A

hence the correct choice is 3.0 A
