none of the above.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Circuit Configuration
In a parallel circuit, all components are connected across the same two points, which means each component experiences the same voltage as the source.
Step 2: Analyzing the Voltage Distribution
Since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the voltage across each bulb is equal to the voltage of the battery. This is a fundamental property of parallel circuits.
Final Answer
The voltage across each bulb is \(\boxed{12 \, \text{V}}\).
