Correct Answer: Parallel


Solution : The correct option is parallel.

In a parallel circuit, each resistor has its own path for current to flow through. This reduces the overall resistance because there are multiple paths for the current to take, making it easier for electrons to flow. So, If the overall electric resistance in a circuit is to be decreased, the number of resistance should be connected in parallel.
