If three pipes of different diameters, lengths & friction factors are connected in parallel, then (where, Q = flow rate, V= fluid velocity f = friction factor).
Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3
V1 = V2 = V3
Q1 = Q2 = Q3
f = f1 + f2 + f3

If a pipe in parallel combination:

Q = Q1 +Q2 +Q3
hf = hf1 = hf2 = hf3.

If a pipe in series combination:-
Q = Q1 = Q2 = Q3.
hf(total) = hf1 + hf2 + hf3.
Where
hf = head loss.
Q = flow rate.

If it is series than 'C' would have been the right answer.
