Your Pet Tiger Has Chewed the Cord to Your Desk

Your pet tiger has chewed the cord to your desk lamp and has created an open circuit-an electronic rift between two points. When you plug the lamp into the electric outlet,

A) current will bypass the bulb and the bulb will not light up.
B) current will flow alternately through the bulb and through the open circuit, so that the bulb will blink on and off rapidly.
C) no current will flow at all and the bulb will not light up.
D) excessive current will pass through the bulb and the bulb will glow very brightly.
