Answer

**a. Technician A**In a parallel circuit, each branch receives the full voltage of the source. If one branch breaks, the other branches continue to function independently because they still have a complete path to the voltage source. Think of it like multiple lanes on a highway. If one lane is closed, traffic can still flow in the other lanes.
