A lamp is connected to a 3 V cell. The lamp fails to glow and the voltmeter connected in series with it shows almost zero reading. Which statement best explains this observation?
(a) The voltmeter has very low resistance, so it bypasses the lamp completely.
(b) The voltmeter measures current when connected in series, so it registers almost no voltage.
(c) The voltmeter has very high resistance, so almost no current flows through the circuit.
(d) The cell voltage is too small to overcome the internal resistance of the voltmeter.
