The correct answer is:
C

A voltmeter is a high resistance device and is always connected in parallel with the circuit While an ammeter is a low resistance device and is always connected in series with the circuit.

So, to use an ammeter in place of the voltmeter, a high resistance must be connected in series with the ammeter to make its resistance high.
