The answer is A

A. In order to turn on one device (such as a TV), you would need to turn on every device in the house that is on the same line.

Explanation:

The first disadvantage is that, if one component in a series circuit fails, then all the components in the circuit fail because the circuit has been broken.

The second disadvantage is that the more components there are in a series circuit, the greater the circuit's resistance.
