option (c)

Explanation:

When the two resistors connected in series in a circuit with a battery, the current in each resistor is same and the potential difference across each resistor is different.

The potential difference is given by Ohm's law

V = i R

Where i is the current in the circuit and R be the resistance of individual resistor and V be the potential difference across this resistor.

The potential drop across the resistor depends on the value of resistance. more be the resistance then more be the potential drop across the resistor.
