Question
### What is true about R1?

#### Diagram Description:
The diagram depicts a series-parallel circuit with three resistors, \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), and \( R_3 \). The circuit is powered by a battery. The current through various branches is indicated by arrows with current values:
- From the battery, 12 A enters the first node.
- 2 A flows through \( R_1 \).
- 10 A reaches node B and splits as 4 A goes through one path while 6 A flows through \( R_2 \).
- The other parts of the circuit indicate various current values combining to return to the battery.

#### Multiple Choice Question:
- \(\circ\) the total current is equal to the sum of the branch currents
- \(\circ\) resistor R1 has the greatest resistance
- \(\circ\) all resistors have the same resistance
- \(\circ\) resistor R1 has the smallest resistance
- \(\circ\) Other:
  
**Note:** Ensure to analyze the circuit carefully to select the correct answer. Each option addresses a potential characteristic of resistor \( R_1 \) in relation to the circuit's total current and branch currents.
