The straight line A has a smaller change in V than the straight line B. (which means the straight line A is less steeper than B). As a result, the straight line A denotes low resistance, whereas the straight line B denotes higher resistance. In a parallel combination, the resistance reduces, but in a series combination, the resistance increases. As a result, the parallel combination is represented by the straight line A.
