In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of all the resistances in the circuit. This means that as more resistance is added, the total resistance increases as well. The circuit amperage is determined by the total resistance and the voltage of the circuit, so it does not necessarily increase as more resistance is added. The total resistance is always greater than or equal to the highest resistor in the circuit, and is never less than the lowest resistor. Therefore, only statement B is correct.
