Correct answer
A
high resistance in series with galvanometer
B
low resistance in series with galvanometer
C
high resistance in parallel with galvanometer
D
low resistance in parallel with galvanometer

Solution

To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter one should connect a high resistance in series with galvanometer

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
