In analyzing circuits in which resistors are wired partially in series and partially in parallel, which one of the following statements describes the preferred approach to take to determine the equivalent resistance in the circuit?

a) Find the sum of all the resistors. This is the equivalent resistance for the circuit. b) Break the circuit into smaller parts and find an equivalent resistance for each part. Then continue this process until all of the parts are added together correctly either in series or parallel until a single equivalent resistance is found. c) All together all of the resistors in series, ignoring any wired in parallel as they do not significantly add to the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The sum of the resistors in series is the equivalent resistance d) All together all of the resistors in parallel, ignoring any wired in series as they do not significantly add to the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The sum of the resistors in parallel is the equivalent resistance.
