The correct answer is: $2 \mathrm{~A}$
$$

\begin{aligned}

Z=& \sqrt{R^{2}+\left(\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}\right)^{2}} \\

&=\sqrt{10^{2}+\left(2000 \times 5 \times 10^{3}-\frac{1}{2000 \times 50 \times 10^{-6}}\right)^{2}} \\

=& 10 \Omega \\

\quad i=\frac{V_{0}}{Z}=\frac{20}{10}=2 A .

\end{aligned}
