Which of the following best describes the circuit shown below

The circuit shown is a series circuit. A series circuit is a circuit with more than one resistor where electricity flows in a single path. 

A parallel circuit on the other hand, electricity flows through more than one path. A combination type of circuit, is a circuit that has both parallel and series circuits. Short circuit happens when there is no load. 

The answer to your question again is series.

Texture and composition are different because they are not the same aspect. texture has to do with feel and so on, where as composition is the chemical makeup which you cant touch like you can texture.
