What is meant by cease?

Thanks @Nidhya.

The current will cease because it has been already mentioned in the question (component fails by developing open circuit).

If it is a fuse, the answer is correct,

For example if the component resistor burnt means the current capacity will increase.

In open circuit current is zero but here component fails by developing an open circuit. So current will be ceases i.e. stop to flow.

Thanks @Nidhya but please anyone tell me explain the CEASES correct meaning of sentence.

Hello @Naga for short circuit current will increases instead of decreasing.

Here the question is about component fails by developing an open ckt- means it refers to the component is going to be an short ckt, hence the current will flow. I think the anw may be 'b'.
