    Answer:c

    Explanation:

    Two resistors of unequal resistance are connected in series with a battery.

    We know that current in series is same across the circuit so option c is correct

    Option a is incorrect because the potential difference across each resistance depends upon resistance as the current is the same for both the resistance. So potential difference across greater resistance is more compared to another resistor.
