A. The current in the battery is less than the current in either resistor.
B. The current in the battery equals the product of the currents in the resistors.
C. The current in the battery equals the sum of the currents in the resistors.
D. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the samattery?

The answer is D. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the same.

If we have two or more components in series, the current that flows through each of them is the same.

In this case, the battery generates the current, and since there must be conservation of electric charge, no current can be lost through the resistors.
