68. A current through the thin filament wire of a light bulb causes the filament to become white hot, while the larger wires connected to the light bulb remain much cooler. This happens because (A) the larger connecting wires have more resistance than the filament. (B) the thin filament has more resistance than the larger connecting wires. (C) the filament wire is not insulated. (D) the current in the filament is greater than that through the connecting wires.
