In this case we have a circuit in parallel, in this case we have the next characteristics

The equivalent resistance is less than the smaller resistance

The voltage is the same on both resistors

The current is different for each resistor

Therefore in this case the true statement is

B)both resistors have the same voltage

ANSWER

B)both resistors have the same voltage
