Question

The figure above shows 4 resistors connected in a circuit with a battery. Which of the following correctly ranks the potential difference ΔV across each of the resistors: A, B, C, or D

ΔV4R = ΔV3R > ΔV2R = ΔV3R
ΔV4R > ΔV3R > ΔV2R = ΔVR    
ΔV2R = ΔVR > ΔV3R > ΔV4R
ΔV4R < ΔV3R < ΔV2R > ΔV3R
3R
4R
2R 3
