Model Answer

(C) Ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel

Explanation

An ammeter measures current, so it must be in series to allow the same current to flow through it. A voltmeter measures potential difference, so it is connected in parallel across the component. This is clearly shown in Activities 11.4–11.6 of the textbook.
