The correct answer is: 1 A

The given circuit in the question is a case of a balanced Wheatstone bridge. Therefore, the circuit can be simplified as given below.

The equivalent resistance for the given circuit will be,

Req=3+3×6+63+3+6+6+2=6 Ω

Therefore, the current supplied by the battery is

i=VReq=66=1 A
