While the engine is cranked, a voltmeter placed between positive battery post and the positive post of the starter reads less than .01 volt. The cause of this reading could be ______.
A)excessive resistance in the ground circuit
B)normal resistance in the positive battery cable
C)excessive resistance in the solenoid control circuit
D)excessive resistance in the positive battery cable
