remind me with the question and the choices

The question where the lamp was to be fitted with a 3A fuse but was fitted with a 13A fuse instead.
Don't really remember all the choices but I chose that the fuse will not melt but the lamp won't light, option B that is.

Wat i choose was D.....i knw it ws soooo confusing...but not sure wid de answer....btw y do u sy dat de lamp wnt wrk????

The question said that the lamp is NOT faulty. That means it should work with ONLY the specific power. That is my logic. I don't know if it's true.

I don't think that is true. If you can imagine one of those tiny bulbs they can usually handle going up to about 10 volts before the filament melts. The lamp would get brighter if you increased the power, but in the question it had no mention of that.

Still, I'm not sure. I could be completely wrong here.
