$A$ bulb gets dimmer for a moment when a geyser,connected across the same source,is switched on. Why?

  • A
    The geyser consumes all the energy.
  • B
    The geyser draws a heavy current,causing a voltage drop in the supply line.
  • C
    The resistance of the bulb increases.
  • D
    The total resistance of the circuit decreases.
