As diodes are in series current flowing through them will equal to load current.

If we use 1, 2, 3, 4 diodes, when +ve cycle of ac is appeared across diode 1, then it will conduct and diode 2 will block full ac current then how will the diode 3 will get +ve cycle to conduct because full ac current is blocked by diode 2 which is connected in between diode 3 and diode 1 ?

All diodes are connected in series and in + forward bias diode is on and in - reverse bias diode is on. So in all cases the diode is in farword bias and it will open so it will equal to the load current.

All diodes are connected in series with load so; in branch the current is same. ANS (A).
