Use the scenario to answer the following question. Two students are trying to wire set up electrical circuits for lights in a newly constructed house. Student 1 argues that they should use a series circuit. Student 2 argues that they should use a parallel circuit.
Which claims accurately describe the benefit of using a series or parallel circuit in the house?

A.
Using a series circuit is best because it will reduce the amount of electricity used in the house since each light can be turned off/on separately when they are needed.

B.
Using a series circuit is best because it will reduce the amount of electricity used in the house since different lights can be turned on separately when they are needed.

C.
Using a parallel circuit is best because it will reduce the amount of electricity used in the house by allowing different lights to be turned on/off separately when they are needed.

D.
Using a parallel circuit is best because it will reduce the amount of electricity used in the house since all lights must stay on at the same time.
