    The total resistance is more than the largest resistor.

    Explanation:

    In series connection of resistors, the total resistance of the connection is the sum of all the resistance of the resistors connected.

    For example; let assume three resistors with resistance 3,4 and 5 ohms, the total resistance is;

    Rt = 3+4+5 = 12 ohms

    So, the total resistance is greater than the largest resistor since 12 ohms is greater than 5 ohms (largest resistor).
