To find the equivalent resistance of the combination of resistors shown below by the method of possibly repeated applications of combining resistors in series and /or combining resistors in parallel, the first step would be which of the following?



a.
Combine the 6.0 ? and the 7.0 ? in series.

b.
Combine either the 4.0 ? and the 10.0 ? in parallel or the 7.0 ? and the 10.0 ? in parallel first, since either could be the first step with the other the second step.

c.
Combine the 4.0 ? and the 10.0 ? in series.

d.
Combine the 6.0 ?, the 4.0 ?, and the 10.0 ? in series in a single step.
