ANSWER

D. 100.0

Step-by-step explanation

The equivalence resistance of a circuit with resistors connected in series is the sum of the resistances of each resistor. In this case, we have two resistors with a resistance of 50.0 Ohm, so the equivalent resistance is,


R_(eq)=50.0+50.0=100.0

Hence, the equivalent resistance is 100.0 Ohm.
