ANSWER

D. A and D

Step-by-step explanation

Two resistors have the same current if they are connected in series. As we can see in the schematic, resistors B and C are connected in parallel, so they don't have the same current - unless they have the same resistance.

Resistors A, D, and the equivalent of the parallel resistors (B and C) are connected in series, so they always have the same current.

Hence, of these options, resistors A and D always have the same current.
