Options
bulb C will glow first.
bulb B and C will glow simultaneously and bulbs A will glow after some time.
all the bulbs A, B and C will glow at the same time.
the bulbs will glow in the order A, B and C.

Solution
all the bulbs A, B and C will glow at the same time.
Explanation:
If the three bulbs A, B and C are connected in parallel in the circuit and the switch is turned on, then all of them will receive the same voltage simultaneously. This results in all the bulbs glowing at the same time.
If they are connected in series, they would all light up in the same order as the current flows, but typically, in a standard setup, parallel connection is the most common for all bulbs to glow at the same time when the switch is turned on.

Set up the circuit shown in Figure again. Move the key to ‘ON’ position and watch carefully in which direction the compass needle gets deflected. Switch ‘OFF’ the current. Now keeping rest of the circuit intact, reverse the connections at the terminal of the cell. Again switch ‘on’ the current. Note the direction in which the needle gets deflected. Think of an explanation.
