Resistive Current
The portion of an electrical current that flows through the resistive components of a circuit, causing energy dissipation.
RLC Parallel Circuit
An electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C) all connected in parallel with each other, affecting the total impedance of the circuit.
Applied Voltage
The electrical potential difference provided by an external source that is applied across a component or circuit.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The resistive current (I_R) in an RLC parallel circuit can be calculated using Ohm's Law, I_R = V / R, where V is the applied voltage and R is the resistance. Given V = 240 volts and R = 60 Ω, I_R = 240 / 60 = 4 A.
