Correct option is A)

Let           (as resistors are identical) ,
therefore equivalent resistance ,
          ,
   or   ,
given total current in the circuit     ,
therefore     voltage   ,
as the resistors are in parallel combination so voltage across them will be same that is ,
  now current through ,
                                    ,
since the resistors are equal therefore this will also be the current through  and .
