1. Consider the following statements and choose the correct one ?

When two or more resistances are connected end to end consecutively, they are said to be connected in series.

The combined resistance of any number of resistance connected in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.

When two or more resistances are connected between the same two points, they are said to be connected in parallel.

All the above.

Answer: All the above.

Explanation:

all these statements are correct. Hence, answer will be option [D].
