उत्तर
a and d
Explanation:
Compare the given circuit by predicting the variation in their reactances with frequency. So, that then we can decide the elements.
Reactance of an inductor of inductance L is XL = 2πvL, where v is the frequency of the AC circuit.

XC = Reactance of the capacitive circuit = `1/(2pi fC)`
With an increase in frequency `(f)` of an AC circuit, R remains constant, inductive reactance (XL) increases and capacitive reactance (XC) decreases.
For an L-C-R circuit,
Z = Impedance of the circuit
= `sqrt(R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2)`
= `sqrt(R^2 + (2pivL - 1/(2pivC)^2)`
As frequency (v) increases, Z decreases and at certain value of the frequency known as resonant frequency (v0), impedance Z is minimum that is Zmin = R current varies inversely with impedance and at Zmin current is maximum.
