Explanation:

Justification: Many people think that electrons are consumed in an electric circuit. This is wrong. We pay the electricity board or electric company to provide energy to move electrons through the electric gadgets like electric bulb, fan and
engines. We pay for the energy that we use, not the number of electrons we consume. So, R is clearly wrong.
