4.3A.

The easiest way to solve this problem is find the equivalent resistance for parallel resistor 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 in the three-branch parallel network with branches whose resistance are 8Ω.

1/Req = 1/8 Ω + 1/8 Ω + 1/8 Ω

1/Req = 3/8 Ω

Req = 8/3 Ω = 2.667Ω

Req = 2.7Ω

So, the equivalent circuit will be the 20.0V battery in series with a resistor  2.0Ω and the equivalent resistor 2.7Ω.

Using Ohm's Law to find the current provide by the 20.0V voltage source:

V = I*R ------> I = V/R

I = 20.0V/(2.0Ω + 2.7Ω)

I = 20.0V/4.7Ω

I = 4.3A

labwork [276]
Assemblage is an additive process where artists construct work by putting together objects and attaches them in some way. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". This kind of artistry actually gives a three dimensional impression to the work that is done by the artist.
