If in the question current source are given then one thing I want to say that current source does not allow current through itself. So option B is correct.

Apply SPT,
For S1 active R1 = 0.2A(S2 = 0).
FOR S2 active r1 = -0.04A(s1 = 0).
Then I(total) = 0.2+(-0.04) = 0.16.
For S1 active R1 = 0.2A(S2 = 0).
FOR S2 active r1 = -0.04A(s1 = 0).
Then I(total) = 0.2+(-0.04) = 0.16.

Only IS1 is active (And IS2 current travel to the ground).
Use current divider formula I2 = Im (R1/(R1+R2)).
= 0.2*(68/ (68+68)).
= 0.1 A.
Near is 0.16 A.

Simply the answer will be the difference of two current sources.
Why because the current from two sources enters the branch in opposite directions. So current through that branch will be I = 0.2-0.04 = 0.16 A.
What ever is the resistance placed in that branch the current through that branch will be 0.16 A.

Good explanation @L.Haque.

Apply superposition theorem both sources opposite direction.
0.2 - .04 = .16
0.2 - .04 = .16

Here resistance value doesn't affect current magnitude as it will be the difference of 0.2 and 0.04 = 0.16.

By current division rule = 120 * 0.2/(120 + 68) = 0.12. So total current through 68ohm resistor is 0.12 + 0.04 = 0.16.

Current does not change in the 120 ohm line. If resistance change, then only voltage drop across it changes

When source 2 is active then both r1 and r2 are in series so same current i.e 0.04A.
When source 1 is active then only r1 is active because r2 is open circuited so r1 gets 0.2A.
Hence net current through r1 = 0.2 - 0.04 = 0.16.
