a) Potential drop across AB is nearly constant as R' is varied.  

b) Current through R' is nearly a constant as R' is varied. 

c) Current I depends sensitively on R'

d) IVr+R always

Detailed Solution

Since, R and R' are in parallel, potential difference across them is same. Effective resistance would be

Reff=RR'R+R'=RRR'+1=R,  since R << R0 which is the minimum value of R'.

So potential drop across AB will be nearly IR most of the time.

Also, Current I is I =VReff+r VR+r (Reff might slightly be less than R).
