Correct answer: D. (R)/(16)

aligned & R=( l)/(A) or R l & (R_1)/(R_2)=(l_1)/(l_2)=(L)/(L / 4)=4 & or R_2=(R)/(4) ( R_1=R) & aligned In parallel combination of such four resistances. or 1 R^ =(1)/(R_2)+(1)/(R_2)+(1)/(R_2)+(1)/(R_2) or 1 R^ =(1)/(R / 4)+(1)/(R / 4)+(1)/(R / 4)+(1)/(R / 4) or 1 R^ =(4)/(R)+(4)/(R)+(4)/(R)+(4)/(R) or 1 R^ =(16)/(R) or R^ =(R)/(16)
