Expert Solution
Step 1

In given circuit the current entering on the bulb and going outside the bulb will be same because the bulb only provides the resistance for the currents not any loss to the currents so the current entering the bulb and the leaving the bulb will be the same 

so correct option is option (c) same as the current entering in it 

option  a and b are incorrect because there is no loss or gain of the electrons.
