The current through the resistor can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that I = V/R. Assuming the voltage across the resistor is given and the resistance value is known, without the specific values from "Figure 16-5", the most logical approach to deduce the correct answer is not possible. However, if this is a standard question where the voltage is 12V and the resistance is 12 ohms, then the current would indeed be 1.0 A (I = V/R = 12V/12Ω = 1.0 A). This explanation is based on common electrical principles, as the actual figure and values are not provided.
