Question

Which of these statements about resistance is true? Choose the best answer.

Answer 1

'C' and 'D' are the same statement, and none of the 3 choices
is good.

Electrical energy is produced in a generator, a solar panel, or
a battery, not in things with resistance.

From the generator or battery, current flows through a circuit of
one or more components.

The greater the resistance of a component, the more energy is
LOST as the current flows through it.  The component dissipates
the energy in the form of heat.

Answer 2

This question is not worded in the best possible manner, nor is it specific enough. I also notice that C and D are duplicates.
The answer is B.

A is not true because regarding Ohm's law, $V = IR$, where V=voltage, I=current, and R=resistance. If we hold Voltage as a constant, (which should be mentioned in the question if it was any good) than we can easily notice that $\frac{V}{R} = I$, where I represents current. The larger $I$ is, the easier for electricity to flow. Clearly as resistance increases, current decreases, therefore A is not true.

B is true because of the same reason C (and D) is not true: the greater the resistance, the more power it creates. Again, holding Voltage, or V, as constant, the equation for finding the power (electrical power/energy) of a system is $\frac{V^2}{R} = P$. We can notice here again that the greater R is, the less P is. The larger P is, the more energy is dissipated by the circuit. Therefore, since R is getting larger, P is getting smaller, and the amount of heat dissipated becomes less with R's increase.

C and D are not true because of what I explained in B, P gets smaller with R's increase.
