Answer:

SeeStep by Step explanation

Explanation:

Currently, light bulbs need nominal voltage in their operation ( that is if your system is 120 V phase-neutral ) they will have a nominal voltage 120 (v). For that reason, all of them need this voltage for their proper operation, which follows that in any circuit the bulbs must be installed in parallel.

If you install them in series, the first will get most of the 120 (v) let´s say 90 (V), and maybe work, but the next one won´t work because the voltage will drop and between the terminals of the second bulbs you surely measure 20 (V) or less, the third one will be working with 10 (V) according to kirchhoff´s second law
