Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

The total internal resistance is \( r = 1 \, \Omega \) and the total resistance in the circuit is given by:

\(R = 4 + 1 = 5 \, \Omega\)

Using Ohm's law, we have:

\(V = I(R + r)\)

Substituting the values:

\(2 = I \cdot 5\)

Solving for \( I \):

\(I = \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \, \text{A}\)
