The correct answer is: 3.4 A
Current is a scaler quantity.
On current accounting:
$\begin{aligned}
& I_{-}\{\text {in }\}=1 \mathrm{~A}+2 \mathrm{~A}+3 \mathrm{~A}+0.8 \mathrm{~A}=6.8 \mathrm{~A} \\
& \mathrm{I}_{\text {out }}=0.5 \mathrm{~A}+1.2 \mathrm{~A}+1.7 \mathrm{~A}=3.4 \mathrm{~A} \\
& \mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_{\text {in }}-\mathrm{I}_{\text {out }}=3.4 \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}$
