After Having Troubleshot a Series RL Circuit, You Check the Resistance

After having troubleshot a series RL circuit, you check the resistance of the inductor and it is around 40 ohms. What conclusion does this bring you to?

A) Since the inductorʹs voltage was nearly zero, you are sure the windings have shorted.
B) Since the inductorʹs voltage was nearly zero, the inductor is probably okay so the resistor must be shorted.
C) Since the inductorʹs voltage was nearly zero, the inductor is probably okay, so the resistor must be open.
D) not enough information
