The concept must be that in a parallel circuit, a decrease in the resistance value of any element means an increase in overall resistance. If any of the branches is open means overall resistance increases.

False is the right answer, parallel branch resistance in open circuit resistance is increased.

In parallel the resistance is low. If oc occurs the resistance will be high.
