A The cells are dry

Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. It is because of improper connection of cells

Option D is correct: In a standard circuit, the positive terminal of one cell must be connected to the negative terminal of the next cell. This allows the electric current to flow continuously in one direction. By connecting positive to positive, the two cells essentially "push" against each other, preventing the flow of electricity to the bulb.
