This is the answer tab

Firstly, let us analyse how we can represent the current. It is measured in Amperes, therefore, we will need to use an ammeter, which rules out options A) and D). Then, we can see how the current in represented in the following drawing

Thus, the current enters the resistor, and the leaves it. For us to have this same current flowing through our instrument, we need to place it in a way that the current goes to the resistor, and then after to our instrument. This can be arranged as the following

Therefore, our answer is letter B) Connect an ammeter in series with the resistor.
