The correct answer is:
, and resistances are in parallel. So, the potential drop across them will be equal. Of these, three resistances maximum heat will be generated across resistance
Similarly, and resistances are also in parallel so, more heat will be generated across resistor. Now the given circuit can be redrawn as :

and
Power developed across resistor will be
and power developed across resistor is
Maximum heat is generated across resistance.
