The correct option is C Same current flows through every part and effective resistance is greater than the individual resistances.
If resistances are connected in series, then
1) As per Kirchoff's rule, in-going current $=$ outgoing current, so current always will equal,
2) Effective resistance $=$ sum of all resistances connected in series.So effective resistance is always greater than the individual resistances

The resistances are connected in series such that same(equal) electric current flows through each resistance.	The resistances are connected in parallel. So that the voltage drop through each resistance is same.
Equivalent resistance is more than every resistance connected in series.	Equivalent resistance is smaller than every resistance connected in parallel.
