In a parallel RL circuit, there are 3 A rms in the resistive branch and 3 A rms in the inductive branch. The total rms current is

                In parallel circuit current are additive.
It = I1+I2.
It = 3+3.
It = 6.
Itrms = 6*0.707.
Itrms = 4.242.
                It = I1+I2.
It = 3+3.
It = 6.
Itrms = 6*0.707.
Itrms = 4.242.

                Sq root of (3^2+3^2) = 3*1.414 = 4.24

                According phasor diagram of current of parallel R-L circuit.

                Answer A is right.
Irmstotal = IRrms+ILrms.
Itotal = 3+3 = 6 A.
                Irmstotal = IRrms+ILrms.
Itotal = 3+3 = 6 A.

                @Savita is right 6A. Answer is in RMS value only no need to multiply 6A by 1.414.

                6A since the type of load won't matter for parallel current distribution.
