(B) The circuit consists of a $9 	ext{ V}$ battery connected to a network of resistors. Looking at the circuit,there are $4$ resistors connected in parallel to the left of the ammeter and $4$ resistors connected in parallel to the right of the ammeter. The ammeter is placed in series with the right-hand group of $4$ resistors. Since the battery is connected across the entire parallel network,the voltage across the $4$ resistors on the right is $9 	ext{ V}$. The equivalent resistance of the $4$ resistors on the right is $R_{eq} = \frac{9 \Omega}{4} = 2.25 \Omega$. Using Ohm's law,the current $I$ through the ammeter is $I = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} = \frac{9 	ext{ V}}{2.25 \Omega} = 4 	ext{ A}$. Wait,re-evaluating the circuit: The ammeter is in series with the right branch. The right branch has $4$ resistors in parallel. The voltage across them is $9 	ext{ V}$. The current through each resistor is $I_r = \frac{9 	ext{ V}}{9 \Omega} = 1 	ext{ A}$. Since there are $4$ such resistors in parallel,the total current through the ammeter is $I = 4 	imes 1 	ext{ A} = 4 	ext{ A}$. Given the options,there might be a misinterpretation of the diagram or a typo in the question. If the ammeter measures the current through all $4$ resistors on the right,the answer is $4 	ext{ A}$. If the diagram implies $5$ resistors on the right,the answer would be $5 	ext{ A}$. Counting the resistors in the image: there are $4$ on the left and $5$ on the right. Therefore,the current through the $5$ resistors on the right is $I = 5 	imes (\frac{9 	ext{ V}}{9 \Omega}) = 5 	ext{ A}$.

If each resistance in the figure is $9 \Omega$,then the reading of the ammeter $(A)$ is (in $A$)
