Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

We know that, the resistances can be combined in two different ways: In series and parallel. When two or more resistances are linked end to end in a row, they seem to be connected in series. When two or more resistances are linked between the same two points, they seem to connected in parallel. So, in a series combination, the effective resistance is the sum of all individual resistance that are connected in series.
