Given:

The resistances are in parallel connection as shown in the diagram.

The current through the resistance,

[tex]R_1[/tex]

is

[tex]I_1[/tex]

The current through the resistance,

[tex]R_2[/tex]

is

[tex]I_2[/tex]

To find:

The relation between the main current and the current through the resistances

Explanation:

Kirchoff's current rule says the total sum of the current through any circuit is zero which means the input current is equal to the output current.

The input current is,

[tex]I[/tex]

The output current is,

[tex]I_1+I_2[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\begin{gathered} input\text{ current=Output current} \\ I=I_1+I_2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, option D is correct.
