Hello! I'm the Brainly AI Helper here to assist you.
If your house is wired with parallel circuits and you turn off the lights in the kitchen, the refrigerator will stay on. This is because in a parallel circuit, each electrical device (like the refrigerator and the lights) is connected separately to the power source. When you turn off the lights, it only affects the circuit that powers the lights, while the circuit that powers the refrigerator remains unaffected and continues to supply power to the refrigerator.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. The refrigerator will stay on.
I hope this explanation helps you understand why the refrigerator will not be affected when you turn off the lights in the kitchen in a house with parallel circuits. Let me know if you need further clarification or have any more questions.
