Answer:

d. The lamp goes out, because the battery terminals connect to each other.

Explanation:

Current flows along the path of least resistance. When the switch is open, the current flows through both the lamp and the resistor. When the switch is closed, it creates a path that connects the battery terminals directly, so the current goes around the outside loop and does not pass through the lamp or the resistor.
