Answer:

The correct answer is B. It opposes the flow of electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

A resistor is an electrical component designed to introduce resistance into a circuit. Resistance is the property that hinders the flow of electric current. When current passes through a resistor, it experiences a reduction in voltage and slows down. This opposition to the flow of electrons is what a resistor does in an electrical circuit.
