Bcan be connected in series safely
Cincreases the current through the component
Dmeasures charge directly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. draws negligible current from the circuit
A voltmeter should not significantly disturb the circuit it is measuring.
**Therefore, it is designed to have very high resistance so that only a very small current passes through it.**
