5054Series and parallel circuits

The diagram shows four identical lamps that are connected in parallel. What are possible ammeter readings $I_1$ and $I_2$?

  1. Areading $I_1$/A = 3.0; reading $I_2$/A = 3.0
  2. Breading $I_1$/A = 3.0; reading $I_2$/A = 9.0
  3. Creading $I_1$/A = 6.0; reading $I_2$/A = 3.0
  4. Dreading $I_1$/A = 9.0; reading $I_2$/A = 12.0
