If 2 resistance are in parallel then.

(90*90)/180 = 45.

I = V/R.

I = 120/45.

I = 2.66.

That's answer is C.

Suppose, open delta connection neutral i = i/3^1/2.

Here, i = (120/90) + (120/90) = 2.66 A.

Neutral i = 2.66/3^1/2 = 1.54~1.77 A.

Circuit diagram is must, you don't know how the two resistor are connected? (series or parallel). For the line current you should know the equivalent resistance seen by the line.
