Answer:

B. 0.4A

Step-by-step explanation:

I've got that the answer is 0.4A. This is because current= voltage÷resitance

So, 1.2A=voltage÷resistance

However, if you only have 1/3 of the voltage AND the resistance remains constant, the current will change proportionally and will also decrease by 1/3 to give you 0.4A
